Man I'm stayin' out of this thread. This looks like a virtual Viet-nam. Call me a fence sitter, but I believe in both.
My mom has experinced this intorernce first hand.
Here's the official mcbee position:
1. When I need religious enlightenment, I look to scripture.
2. When I need scientific knowledge, I look to science.
I figure you can merge the 2 at some point, but that is beyond my capability of understanding. And frankly isn't relevent to what happens to me in the afterlife.
I think if God, really wanted us to worry about such a trivial subject, there would be more written on the subject, other than a few handful of verses.
There is a purpose for both.
