Hemidakota Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 EXCERPT: Most biology faculty and students do not have a problem reconciling faith with their study of evolution, and many even find it spiritually inspiring. "Too often we assume a false dichotomy," said biology professor Jerry Johnson. "Yet one can accept evolution and still be a faithful follower of Christ."Students study evolution every semester, whether in the senior capstone class Biology 420, evolutionary biology, or in Biology 100. Charles Darwin's theories are not a controversial side-topic for the sciences but a core, connecting theme.Johnson and biology department chair Keith Crandall referred to a quote by geneticist Theodosius Dobzhansky that "Nothing in biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution."ARTICLE LINK: BYU NewsNet - Science professors don't view evolution as an 'either-or' proposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
