The Nebraska Religious Coalition for Science Education (NRCSE) was founded] April 25, 2001 by four individuals meeting at First Central Congregational Church in Omaha.[1] The NRCSE refers to its members as "Nebraskans of various religious faiths who respect both science and theology".[2] The NRCSE's stated mission is to "proclaim the compatibility of good science (including evolution) and good theology (including creation)", and that "evolution can and should be widely taught in a scientifically sound manner that is neutral regarding philosophical or religious worldviews".[2]
The NRCSE takes the following positions:
- Evolution is a viable scientific theory.
- A Creator is a viable theological proposition.
- Creationism or "creation science," as well as intelligent design theory, lack evidence and represent erroneous deviations from the scientific method.[3]
- Nebraska's schools have a duty to help students understand the best available science, including the biological theory of evolution.
- Academic freedom, religious freedom, and scientific integrity are compatible.
