O Lord, how manifold are thy works!
In wisdom hast thou made them all:
the earth is full of thy riches. (Psalm 104:24)

What is the NRCSE?

Often with scientific issues that have religious implications, as in debates between proponents of evolutionary science and proponents of creationism or intelligent design,  it seems as if there is a fundamental conflict between science and religion.  We in the Nebraska Religious Coalition for Science Education (NRCSE) are Nebraskans of various religious faiths who respect both science and theology.  Our mission is to proclaim the compatibility of good science (including evolution) and good theology (including creation).  The NRCSE recognizes the duty of Nebraska's schools to help students understand the best available science.  We believe that evolution can and should be widely taught in a scientifically sound manner that is neutral regarding philosophical or religious worldviews.  We are convinced that academic freedom, religious freedom, and scientific integrity are compatible.
