Scientists from across the country have generously agreed to serve as technical consultants to clergy members who have questions about the science associated with all aspects of evolution.   If you have a question, find a local scientist on the list below, or search by areas of expertise.  Many of the scientists listed have also expressed a willingness to entertain requests to speak publicly or lead a discussion about their areas of expertise.

The very existence of this list clearly demonstrates the willingness of scientists to work collaboratively with clergy members.  Together, scientists and clergy members demonstrate that religion and science need not be at odds with one another.

(If you are a scientist and would like to be added to our list of consultants, please contact Michael Zimmerman (mz@butler.edu).)

576 Scientists
from all 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico,
representing 29 countries,
have agreed to serve as technical consultants for
members of the clergy
