Scotland: CHURCH Holding Dinosaur Sunday

This event is over, but I thought it was interesting.

From Inverclyde Now: CHURCH Holding Dinosaur Sunday
IT’S going to be Dinosaur Sunday again at Greenock West United Reformed Church as the congregation hold their second faith and science event.

Ministers the Rev David Coleman and the Rev Zam Walker say the events at the church in George Square set people free to consider the mutual benefit of faith and the insights of science, in particular evolution and palaeontology.

At 11am tomorrow (19 February) they will bring the subjects together with Biblical preaching.

At 6.30pm one of Scotland's leading palaeontologists, Dr Neil Clark of the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow will speak.

There will be a display of fossils at both events.

Zam said: “We had a very good response last year to what is both an enjoyable and encouraging event. Our message is that honest science supports and affirms as well as challenges our encounter with the world as people of Christian faith. As Albert Einstein said: ‘Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.’ We are part of an international movement, the Clergy Letter Project, which aims to raise the level of conversations between people of science and faith.”
