Evolution

From: JASA 15 (June 1963): 67.

I know a woman who was about to give up her faith because of the teaching she was receiving in a university, but she settled for the compromise of theistic evolution. Was her faith strengthened? It would have been strengthened much more if she had looked more deeply into the evidence for evolution and discovered the defects. We as scientists trying to improve spiritual health should not look for pain relievers but for cures.
