I wasn't ever aware that there was a Darwin vs religion debate? (Other than Huxley vs "Soapy Sam" before we were all born.)

I love this weird idea that if you accept the science of evolution, you can't embrace the bible or vice versa. What absolute bollocks..

Science is not about making religions look absurd, it is about science. If by advancing scientific discovery we make ancient scriptures look less real, that is an accidental by product rather than some sinister plan.

I can believe in Sheffield Wednesday and know, (not believe mark you, actually know) they are the best team ever and no matter where they are in the fizzy pop league, premiership or Sunday pub league, they are still the best.

Yet at an academic level, I am capable of looking at league tables and results and know my faith is tested by reality. The point is, I don't then question the reality. Reality doesn't have any bearing on my faith.

If reality troubles your Christian faith, I can only suggest you are not really faithful. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so defensive. There are many, the vast majority in fact, of Christians, Jews, Muslims, whatever who have a strong faith but don't for one minute see their scriptures as historical fact. It must be hugely insulting to have literalist evangelical people with views borne of ignorance twisting their faith into believing fantasy.

Like I said; so many Christians, never enough nails when you need them.
