No God! Then Why Do They Use God?

Separation of God and Science
Dr. Michael Zimmerman, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Butler University and founder of the Clergy Letter Project, supposedly believes that God and evolution are compatible. However, a December 2004 letter he wrote to the Grantsburg School Board in Wisconsin indicates otherwise.

Opposing an open approach that would allow for alternative theories of origins in its science program, Zimmerman stated: “We urge school board members to preserve the
integrity of the science curriculum by affirming the teaching of the theory of evolution as a core component of human knowledge...We ask that science remain science and that religion remain religion—two very different, but complementary, forms of truth.” Originally co-signed by 200 clergymen, the number supporting this “clergy letterʼs” dogmatic teaching of evolution has since grown to 11,171—and is increasing daily.

Zimmerman and these religious leaders want no controversy in the classroom, no
questioning of evolution. They want God, the Creator of the universe and Designer
of manʼs intelligence, separated from science in our public schools.

Incomprehensible! Illogical! Indefensible!
Zimmerman has since taken it much further. Why not use churches to celebrate evolution on or near Darwinʼs birthday? Hence, “Evolution Sunday” was initiated on February 12 (Darwinʼs birthday), 2006, with 467 clergy paying homage to Darwinian evolution.

Zimmermanʼs website, http://www.butler.edu/clergyproject/rel_evol_sun.htm, even posts sermons for religious leaders who want to spread the evolution “gospel.” To include other religions, in February 2008 the observance was expanded into “Evolution Weekend.” Celebrated by more than 800 religious centers on five continents, in nine countries, and in all 50 U. S. states, it was given the added twist of proclaiming that religion and science actually complement each other. Of course, when they say “science,” they mean “evolution.”

Apparently, these clergy believe that oil and water mix and that light can merge with darkness—that the perfect and loving Creator of the Bible would subject His creation to a wasteful process that advances by death, such as natural selection. Genesis 1 repeats the word “good” six times, indicating everything was originally in harmony—and that there was no death! Certainly millions and millions of dead things found in fossil graveyards all over the world do not evidence what Genesis calls “good,” but relate (or reveal) Godʼs judgment. How can a pastor embrace such a death-based message? Ironically, those who want to censor scientific evidences for a Creator in our schools are preaching evolution from their pulpits! Heresy fills the air, and the Word of God is distorted to accomplish evil purposes.

“They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work,” Titus 1:16.
