I have moved this post to a new thread because it is a different topic from the thread started by KathyM. I agree that science and religion can get along. My belief is that anything that we perceive as a conflict now probably represents some misinterpretation or misunderstanding somewhere, and it will all work out eventually. Have you ever done a puzzle, and it seemed like the pieces you had just couldn't possibly go together? But when you get it done, of course it does fit perfectly. Our perception isn't infallable. Science isn't infallable. And we don't know everything that God knows. I'm pretty sure that we misunderstand Him quite a lot, actually.

Everyone, please be careful with this topic, as I smell potential for debate, and that isn't what this forum is about. So far, I don't see it as a problem that we acknowledge that science and God can both be accepted together. I know that not everyone is going to agree, but I would ask that if you don't agree, that you accept that some do feel this way. To me, freedom to think means that we can think in different ways, and accept that we don't all have to always agree. Sometimes it is the ability to allow for thoughts that don't seem to go together, while still holding both thought systems to be of value.
