One of the aspects stressed by evolutionary materialists is its ...

Orthodoxy contra Darwinism?

A troubling development from Moscow: The Russian Orthodox Church called Wednesday for an end to the "monopoly of Darwinism" in Russian schools, saying religious explanations of creation should be taught alongside evolution.
