I strongly encourage you to watch this video from the AAAS featuring Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. The video also includes a couple of my heroes, Robert Eshbach and Jennifer Miller, science teachers at Dover High School in Dover, Pennsylvania.

What do these three people have in common?

They are all Christians who accept mainstream evolutionary science.

One little known fact in the debate over teaching evolution in public schools is that the majority of people in the United States who accept evolution are theists. That inconvenient truth is something that you definitely will not hear from the supporters of the movie "Expelled".

Why not? Because it demolishes their attempt to equate the theory of evolution with atheism. As the people interviewed in this video demonstrate, evolution may be incompatible with certain forms of Biblical literalism, but it is very much compatible with basic theism.
