Interestingly enough, he even noted his initial reaction was
wrong about how a
"religious" encyclopedia would handle
evolution, and he explains how it
detailed evolution in terms of
science rather than religious
dogma.
I looked up "Evolution", and to my surprise, I was
completely and
utterly wrong - the topic was described in great scientific
detail, explaining how evolution works, who contributed to the
subject, and
some of the aspects of it that still required
further study because scientists
didn't yet understand them fully
(we're talking 1956, after all). No dogmas, no
ridicule, no
disparaging words or other forms of negativity. In fact, it
could've come from any strictly secular science book and it'd be
perfectly
acceptable.
I would still have to read it myself to determine
how scientific
the explanation is, but he seems to believe that it was well
handled in there. --- - Ken -
