ASA

I believe ASA should vigorously oppose any egregious breach of "fidelity to
the Word of God and a commitment to integrity in the practice of science"
whether it may come from YEC, OEC, ID, TE, RFEP, or whatever. Just because
our organization does not advocate any particular position on issues
relating to science and Christian faith doesn't mean that all viewpoints
must be considered equally valid and appropriate for discussion. The
scientific method is rigorous enough to allow us to differentiate between
pseudo-science and an evolving body of scientific knowledge.
Interpretations of God's Word may be less well-defined but there are still
clear orthodox bounds. Certainly there are gray zones where one person's
"difference of opinion" may be another person's nonsense. But a lot of the
material circulating in this field is way out of bounds and we all have a
responsibility to aggressively oppose it.
