$1.6 million Templeton Prize, awarded annually in recognition of achievements in affirming spirituality, will go this year to UC Irvine's Francisco Ayala, an ordained Catholic priest before becoming an acclaimed evolutionary geneticist and molecular biologist, prominent for his belief in the compatibility of evolutionary science and Christian faith.
naturally, templeton (and pew) foundations are entities focused on spreading christism.
i don't know a thing about ayala, but i'd be most intersted in hearing how on earth he reconciles christist dogma (ie. world began on oct 14, 4004 BC at 10am) with evolutionary biology. that must take some conceptual somersaults.
also, how does ayala reconcile the pedophilia in the church with his faith? does he have nothing to say about it?
