A Sunday School Lesson on Faith and Science for Gov. Perry and Rep. Bachmann

Religion and science share a sense of wonder and awe at the beauty and complexity of this world. The religious and scientific minds are best joined by a sense of honest humility about what we don't know, an excitement about what is yet to be revealed through deep examination, and an abiding hope in the potential of these discoveries for making life on this earth better for all.

Can You Believe in God and Evolution? By STEVEN PINKER

A collection of Professors and intelletuals provide an excellent arguement for the elvolutionary process and how the process can logically co-exist with our beliefs in an omnipotent God.

I see no conflict in what the Bible tells me about God and what science tells me about nature. Like St. Augustine in A.D. 400, I do not find the wording of Genesis 1 and 2 to suggest a scientific textbook but a powerful and poetic description of God's intentions in creating the universe. The mechanism of creation is left unspecified. If God, who is all powerful and who is not limited by space and time, chose to use the mechanism of evolution to create you and me, who are we to say that wasn't an absolutely elegant plan? And if God has now given us the intelligence and the opportunity to discover his methods, that is something to celebrate.
