There was an article about 20 years ago by the Vatican's astronomer=in
which he explains evolution, and states that there is no conflict==20
between the Roman church and either cosmology or evolution. I thin=k=20
that you will find that all of the mainline churches, RC, Episcopal=,=20
Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran (non Missouri Synod), and even so=me=20
Baptist churches have made peace with science, and also take a non==20
literal view of the non historical parts of the bible (Genesis to==20
after the flood). However within each of these churches there are==20
groups which may take a more literal view.
Unlike
the first 5 churches mentioned Baptists are very congregational wit=h=20
weak centralized authority and the theology actually can vary from =one
church to the next.
