Evolutionist can believe in Bible, pastor here says
In a Christ Episcopal church service, Rev E J Craft argued evolutionists may accept science without losing faith. He called the Scopes trial a cheap comedy, denied atheistic implications, and urged obedience to law while maintaining belief in special creation for each species.
