The Rev. Franklin Vilas, is rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Chatham, N.J., and a member of the national church's Working Group on Science, Technology and Faith. He also serves as chair of the Science and Religion Committee of the Diocese of Newark and was a founding member of the Episcopal Environmental Coalition. Of course they are. Both positions carry their own perils. The real issue is which belief best explains the world, all that therein is and how it got here.
Evolution is only a theory and a bad one at that.
There are major scientific flaws with evolution, including major gaps with missing links along the spectrum from monkey to man. One only has to look at the beauty of creation or the magnificent human body to know that these were not the result of random events but of God's master plan for us. Man's ultimate arrogance is belief that there is no creator. A day in God's sight may be 10 million years in ours. No conflict here.
