The reaction has been predictable. Evolutionists have been writing letters arguing that science doesn't have to threaten religion at all. Most of the prominent evolutionists of our day say such things in public, but say something very different when they feel it is safe to do so. And Harvard paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould will grudingly allow people of faith to express their opinions about morals, but only as long as they don't challenge the facts of science. What is at stake is more than a scientific theory.
Evolution provides the intellectual foundation for naturalism.
The leading evolutionists really don't believe that God used evolution to create life. They believe that evolution proves that God does not exist.
