 Bible Colleges and Templeton
Bible Colleges, churches and Christians should never begin a conference, a dialogue, or even their own thinking with the assumption that evolution is true.  Rather they need to understand that many of the claims of naturalistic origins science have not been proven and many are contrary to the Word of God.
Templeton are totally open about their evolution-based ethos, which sees belief in Genesis (as real history) as a major ‘stumbling block’ to ‘progress in religion’.
Though Templeton does not of course overtly tell any colleges what to teach, courses which are ‘out of line’ with their philosophy would obviously have much less chance, if any, of attracting funding.
