[asa] feedback: ASA Perspectives article on "Optimistic Evolutionists"

RE:
ASA "Perspectives" article on "Optimistic Evolutionists: The Progressive
Science and religion of Joseph LeConte, Henry Ward Beecher, and Lyman
Abbott."

I just read the article. I found the body of the article very
interesting and informative. I love learning from history so as not to
repeat the same mistakes.

However, I was greatly disappointed in the conclusion. How should
evolution and religion be reconciled? Wait until we get more information
(according to the author). I found that severely lacking. I think with
all the evidence for evolution, esp. the DNA (genome-mapping) evidence,
a synthesis of religion with evolution is crying out for attention. It
is a huge mistake to wait it out, I think.

My comments are in reference to the last long paragraph of the article.
