Baptists in Atlanta vote as Rogers rejects evolution and defends virgin birth
The Rev. Adrian Rogers led the Southern Baptist Convention campaign in Atlanta, denouncing evolution as monkey mythology and signaling a strict fundamentalist stance. Rival Rev. W.

A lay poll suggested most Baptists favor moderates, but Rogers warned against liberalism reveling in doubt about biblical miracles.
