In the case of the growth of the plant, both the scientist and the gardener are right. There is no conflict, just different takes on the same phenomenon. In the case of the earth going round the sun, there is conflict because one of the two notions is demonstrably wrong. In the case of whether there is a God who created everything, well we can argue all night about shades of meaning of the word "create". But the vast majority of people, I'd say, don't wish to be confused by arcane redefinitions of the term. That's falling into the theology trap. Keep it simple (especially for me). If you want to redefine the word, let the rest of us hang on to its traditional meaning and get yourselves a new word. Traditional meaning? Making everything from nothing, if it's God we're talking about. If that isn't what you think God did, then clear it up for us. Words of one syllable would be good.
