Creation/Evolution Specialists??

Question

I am doing an independent study on creationism vs. evolution, & I need to send out letters to people or organizations who know a lot about either, or both subjects in the USA, preferably in the Texas area. Thank you!

Answer 1

Are you doing your independent study in the field of science or religion?  If this is part of a science curriculum, you have a problem because creationism is not science (even if you call it "intelligent design" or creation science or anything else).  If you are doing this as a part of a religious or spiritual curriculum, you have a different problem because evolution is not a religion.  That is not to say you won't find lots of people on both sides who will tell you lots of things.   Good luck, you will need it.

Answer 2

May I suggest a nearly neutral source - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

There are a number of references there.

Answer 3

I highly recommend the Clergy Letter Project.

This is an organization centered around the Clergy Letter ... a letter by Christian clergy members endorsing evolution, and the idea that faith and science (including evolution) absolutely can, and should co-exist.

So far, over 11,000 Christian clergy members, have signed the letter.

Their web site is an all-round excellent resource.

One page contains a list of addresses for 566 scientists who are available as resources:

(They are organized by State, and I see there are quite a few from Texas.)

Good luck!
