Never mind Jack's silly title Musket.
McGrath said, "What mainstream Christians, and others, mean when they talk about God as Creator is much more complicated, and since it isn't in any way in conflict with scientific beliefs about biological or stellar evolution,"

Steve reposted, "Au contraire. It is absolutely in conflict with science (er, not "scientific beliefs", which don't exist). That is the argument of the pusillanimous religionist who knows at the bottom of his heart that "there must be something in this science malarkey". But you can't have your cake and eat it. If you think that "God" created everything, whether in 4004BC or billions of years ago, you are insulting the scientific process, which must be predicated on evidence alpone, which is what as a God-squadder you have not got. Simple as that."

My post was to Steve.
