Are Science and Religion
Compatible?
"The Bible is not meant to be a scientific textbook. Nor is it designed to reveal secrets about primordial history that have no relevance to salvation."
--Michael Morrison, Genesis 1: The Six-Day War - Part III (Community of Hope Church, Phoenix, Arizona)
"Test all things; hold fast what is good."
-- Thessalonians 5:21
"Speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee."
Job 12:8"Thousands, millions of people fear that science will destroy not only poetry, not only sentiment, but religion. This fear is idiotic. Science will destroy superstition, but it will not injure true religion. Science is the foundation of real religion. Science teaches us the consequences of actions, the rights and duties of all. Without science there can be no real religion. Only those who live on the labor of the ignorant are the enemies of science. Real love and real religion are in no danger from science. The more we know the safer all good things are."
--Robert Green Ingersoll - Science and Sentiment

"David Campbell switched on the overhead projector and wrote 'Evolution' in the rectangle of light on the screen. He scanned the faces of the sophomores in his Biology I class. Many of them, he knew from years of teaching high school in this Jacksonville suburb, had been raised to take the biblical creation story as fact. His gaze rested for a moment on Bryce Haas, a football player who attended the 6 a.m. prayer meetings of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes in the school gymnasium."Joyce McMillan - Myth of creationism weakens the vital morality of religion (off site)
