Abstract
If you think evolution is unrelated to church work, some very rich people disagree. They're spending millions to make the church an evolution-friendly place. Nearly every hour of every day, headlines flash across major TV news channels telling the story of passionate men and women driven to change the world. From Sara Greenberg-Hassan, a mother in Minnesota raising funds to buy lunches for low-income kids, to thousands marching against abortion in Washington, DC, our culture wants to be heard. When it comes to the creation-evolution debate, in contrast, many of the organizations most dedicated to undermining the Bible's teachings in the church aren't picketing on national TV or launching social media fundraisers for little kids. Instead, they prefer to work quietly behind the scenes. The John Templeton Foundation is one such organization.
