For the past few weeks, evolution has been a frequent topic in letters to the editor ["Moral relativism, evolution justify all kinds of evil," June 26].
In college, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels (anthropology), I was never taught that the theory of evolution equates to denying the existence of the divine. Nor was I taught that religion should and must be denied.
The theory of evolution, like intelligent design, is a theory that attempts to shed light on the origin of life. One is scientific in approach, and the other is based on the premises of religious beliefs.
Having different opinions on the issue is healthy. It helps to attain a wider understanding. What do evolution and creationism share in common? Our humanity.
The enemy is ignorance of both. Neither science nor religion is the enemy.
