interesting snippet from the manifesto (bottom of page 12 / top of page 13):

All too often we have disobeyed the great command to love the Lord our God
with our hearts, souls, strength, and minds, and have fallen into an
unbecoming anti-intellectualism that is a dire cultural handicap as well as
a sin. In particular, some among us have betrayed the strong Christian
tradition of a high view of science, epitomized in the very matrix of ideas
that gave birth to modern science, and made themselves vulnerable to
caricatures of the false hostility between science and faith. By doing so,
we have unwittingly given comfort to the unbridled scientism and naturalism
that are so rampant in our culture today.

hear, hear.
