Why are there so few Christians in Science?
June 30, 2012 at 5:05 am
I have reading this article on Jerry Coyne's blog discussing an article published on the Biologos site. Biologos is an evangelical christian organisation which advocates "theistic evolution". The biologos article reported that about half of all scientists working in "elite" US universities were non-religious, compared to 14% of the general population. Also that only 4% of scientists were evangelical Christians compared to 28% of the population.

The link to the articles is below
