WASHINGTON -- Putting aside deep differences over the origin of life, a group of leading scientists and evangelical Christian leaders say they plan to join together to fight global warming.


Representatives of the various groups met recently in Georgia and agreed on the need for urgent action. Details on the talks will be disclosed in Washington on Wednesday.


"Whether God created the Earth in a millisecond or whether it evolved over billions of years, the issue we agree on is that it needs to be cared for today," said Rich Cizik, vice president of government relations for the National Association of Evangelicals, which represents 45,000 churches.
