@ The most damaging contributions to the Christian faith involve
those who preach heretical definitions of the Godhead. Ann's
beliefs in that regard are well within the boundries of the ASA's
statement of faith.
So I highly doubt that any scientist -- whose beliefs are also within
the bounds of *the ASA statement of faith -- could find anything
damaging in her contributions to the Christian faith. ( *ie: They
believe there is absolutely no scriptural warrant -

- for any individual professing Christian / church to interpret,
amplify, and expand upon the ways of naming the triune God who is
Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
On the other hand, it is easy to see how members of this faith

- might view her contributions as quite damaging.
As far as her "contributions to science" go, they are no more
damaging than those made by another non-scientist, C.S. Lewis:
"I believe that Christianity can still be believed, even if Evolution
is true." ~ C. S. Lewis
"No science is ever frightening to Christians. Religious people don't
need the science to come out any particular way on IQ or AIDS or sex
differences any more than they need the science to come out any
particular way on evolution...If evolution is true, then God created
evolution." ~ Ann Coulter -- P.277 Godless
