No, then you just end up with science teachers telling kids about how God influences evolution

The problem with that is not the idea, it's the way it is delivered. Don't mistake the will of the follower for the wishes of the master. Yuck, that metaphor sounded really hardcore, didn't it? Lol

Editado por Kind of Ben: 2/20/2015 2:57:34 AMNope. I believe that (nearly) everything God does or has done can be explained rationally and scientifically, without explicit intervention on his part. He guides things, sure, but he rarely resorts to "miracles", which is why science tells us the seemingly blasphemous stuff it does. I also believe parts of the Bible are either allegory or straight-up metaphor, and shouldn't be taken literally. Take creation. Genesis apparently says "poof, we're here!" while science says evolution. I believe in evolution. Genesis is a metaphorical description of God's creation of man and the world we know today, which actually took place over billions of years of God guiding the process of evolution. Evolution is only ridiculous if you try to say it happened all by chance. If you allow for a guiding hand, evolution and the evidence we have for it suddenly seem a lot more plausible. There are some things I can't answer this way (although I don't remember any specifically), but that doesn't bother me because there's plenty of things science or religion by themselves can't answer either. This way gives me more answers than either of the others. I believe this is a good way of reconciling two things that both must be true. Science + Religion = Win :) [i]Edit: Added to the final paragraph to better explain myself.[/i]

What's responsible for how life was created?

Editado por Kind of Ben: 2/20/2015 3:11:38 AMGod. Have you ever read how evolution or science in general explains life's beginning? The whole primordial soup idea? It's plausible, and it makes sense. But without something guiding the process and ensuring that each necessary step happens, it's ridiculously unlikely and it strains belief. If what we think we know about the beginnings of life is correct, then that must be how it happened. The key point is that God made it happen that way, whether through direct intervention or simply setting things up properly in the first place. A better question than "What's responsible for life?", or at least one that is harder to answer with pure science, would be "What is responsible for the creation of the universe?"

Science and religion can (and do) coexist.

Hey, someone who agrees with me! Nice to meet you.

[quote]Impossible[/quote] Very possible. In fact it happens [i]every day.[/i] Whether you like it or not, it happens.

Ok, how did life start?

A lil' loving. Or a lot of loving. An inappropriate amount of loving in fact.
