 | | Notably, no major union of teachers, including the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers, have ever characterized it in this manner. | | | Concerning the origin and historical diversity of life on earth, secular humanists accept the fact of evolution as the essential framework of modern biology. | | | Defending the constitutional separation of church and state, secular humanists deplore the efforts of biblical fundamentalists or so-called scientific creationists to invade science classrooms and pressure textbook publishers with their religious myth and political agenda. |

| | FUNDAMENTALISM, MODERNISM, AND NEW-EVANGELICALISM |
| | In a historical Christian context, fundamentalism arose from the doctrinal controversies that embroiled American churches at the turn of the century when theological modernism began to take root in seminaries and Bible colleges and in leadership positions in the denominations. | | | As a result, new churches and denominations were established and fundamentalism was used of God to preserve the purity of the Word and the Gospel. | | | As we noted at the beginning of this study, many varying definitions of fundamentalism have been given through the years, and the truth of the matter is that fundamentalism has taken a great variety of forms. |
