This weekend I read an article titled Evolution Weekend: Churches nationwide to talk about whether creation, evolution can co-exist and it was about how there are churches who are now thinking that evolution indeed may have played a role in human development.  Though this goes completely against what the Bible says that god created the earth in 7 days, they are now starting to believe that the science part is also correct.  This to me seems a little maddening because for the past 200 years there was no middle ground on this issue, it was either darwinism or creationism.  The article also describes that "Participation through sermons, Sunday school lessons and even evolution dances has expanded into 974 congregations across the country, more than doubling since the weekend began in 2006, said founder Michael Zimmerman..." seeing that this is more than doubling to me is actually quite the accomplishment on Zimmerman's part, but in my opinion I think the issue has been pretty much settled and should be left alone.
