You might want to read "Belief in God in an Age of Science" by Polkinghorne.
here's a link. You might find it interesting. He's a Theoretical Physicist who is also an Anglican priest.

As for science being controversial: almost all large leaps of science are considered controversial by one group or another. Relax about Darwin. He deserves to be recognized for this body of work and thought.

Because his findings are extremely well regarded in the Science world? Its not FIR(eligion)ST; FIRS(cience)T wanted to recognize Darwin's accomplishments too?

Personal beliefs aside, the man is one of the most most well known names in the Science World. I remember learning about him in middle school. I think its better to have division names with recognizable names for the students, the kids will be excited to recognize names. I'll be honest, I'd never heard of Hopper or Carson (and VERY little about Carver) before they were given division names.

I can see where you're coming from. Personally, as a flat-earthist I've never been too thrilled with the Galileo division myself.

I like that they included Turing. He doesn't get the accolades that should be accorded to him due to the way his work was hidden after WWII.

The way this thread is headed, I'm sure someone will bring up his sexual orientation or the fact that he committed suicide though... Stay classy CD.

I typed some sort of statement about how Turing being a division is politically relevant... then I deleted it because it is not worth stoking the flames.

Let's behave a bit more gentlemen and ladies, or this thread will be going away....

I've been asked once already for this thread to go away. I'll give you one chance.

From the looks of it.. I believe so. First time I ever posted an FRC blog post on CD and it's threatened to to go away.

What a rambunctious crowd..

Sadly it seems like it did, perhaps there could be more transparency in the moderation of the forum.
