Clergy sign 'evolution' letter Concerned with the recent efforts to pit religion against science, a coalition of scientists and religious leaders started a letter project to gather the support of 10,000 Christian clergy. “Simply put, the letter makes it very clear that it’s possible to believe in evolution while being a good Christian,” says Michael Zimmerman, project coordinator. He is a professor of biology at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh. “Religious truth is of a different order from scientific truth. Its purpose is not to convey scientific information but to transform hearts,” the letter says. More than 5,000 clergy have signed the virtual letter.
