Re: [asa] Book TV on C-SPAN 2

"How exactly is the statement "evolution is compatible with religious
faith" a religiously neutral statement? Doesn't it necessarily
involve the content of religious faith?"

The statement seems to me to be a simple statement of fact, a fact
that is acknowledged by just about anyone who has studied the subject
in any degree. Both Henry Morris and Marcus Borg (for instance), not
to mention Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Joel Osteen, etc. ought to not
have any problem stating that much as a fact. Some (Morris, for
instance) might think it is a silly thing to do -- but would not (I
have asked him directly on this) suggest that a person who holds to
evolution cannot be a Christian. As such, how can it be anything else
than "religiously neutral?"
