Collins: Biblical Literalism, ID Undermine Faith
Francis S. Collins, who led the international Human Genome Project before converting to evangelical Christianity, "tells fellow evangelicals that opposition to evolution -- whether the biblical literalism of creationists or 'intelligent design' arguments -- undermines the credibility of faith. He finds the first "fundamentally flawed" and warns that the second builds upon gaps in evidence that scientists are very likely to fill in the future, among other objections."
