Thanks, papa. Even though I am not religious and dont believe in a god, I have many friends that do-ditto for my daughter. And, as a parent, I keep telling her while we believe one way and our friends do not, we still should respect them as people. However, those that arent educated make it difficult- and, unfortunately some of them can become borderline mean when they are faced with people like us. Its not just logic that comes with education-sometimes its also empathy and grace.

Darwin never once doubted god at the very least he was agonostic

Interesting video, see Truth-saves. ' creation week' can't be interpreted as millions of years since the story has Adam live more than one day of the week. Also it has Adam die at 930 years old.

@rickster348 You can't believe in science, it's fact. You can accept that facct or not

Although I'm a conservative Christian (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G. Ranganathan (B.A. theology/biology)

SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE, because of entropy, couldn't have sustained itself from all eternity. Einstein confirmed that space, matter, time had a beginning! That beginning has to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)

GENETIC INFORMATION CAN'T HAPPEN BY CHANCE anymore than other forms of information can happen by chance. Therefore, it is far more logical to believe that genetic and biological similarities between species are due to a common Designer (Creator) who designed similar functions for similar purposes in all of life. What about "Junk DNA?" It's not junk, after all! These sections of DNA are not genes, but they regulate gene expression. Read my Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!

[Mogley52]

NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Only evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). How were species living and reproducing if their reproductive system and other vital organs hadn't evolved yet? Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA," genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic/biological similarities between species.

You argue for the compatibility of science and theology but science is based on observable evidence and logic, while theology is based on non-evidenced logic-defying belief (faith) in the supernatural. Science and religion ARE incompatible. The scientific method will continue to discard theism until such time as actual evidence of "god" is produced (good luck!). Theism sometimes modifies its presumptions to correspond with discoveries, but it is still founded on pretense of divine insight.

I believe in God, I also believe in science,

what label do I wear?
