Steve Shaw says: Anyone who can't see conflict between science and religious belief is, frankly, using neither their eyes, their ears nor their brains.
I'm sorry, Steve, but I can't buy that. There are those on both sides of the discussion who invent conflicts between science and religious belief, but that conflict should not be necessary.
I heard a quote in seminary, years and years ago, and then I could never find it again. It came from somebody famous like Galileo or Copernicus. It went something like this: there are God's works and there are God's words. If the words conflict with the works, then we are not understanding the words correctly.
