it was not so long ago that science and religion were one and the same; i fear they should become one again in this day and age, given the corruption in all arenas...

>Consider this: If life was spontaneously created in some primordial soup that was struck by lightning and blasted by a tornado into a living cell, does this not suggest God does not exist, and therefore there is no Creator who can hold His created responsible for what they do?

i replied:
hey there, Carl.

i just gotta' comment on this one.

my father, may he rest in peace, enlightened me to a very interesting concept when i was quite young; and it is this: the two theories do not contradict one another! get your mind around that!

my interpretation would be this:

as far as the scientists are concerned, they have pretty much figured out how things Evolved, how some of this stuff works [within OUR limited capabilities] - and no! they cannot say how Life actually got started for sure, or recreate it [they will agree with this statement]; and let us just say that the Hand of God reached down with "the spark" that got it all started [chemically -electrically- spiritually - all down with the "raw materials" !!! they are all the same you see ] - and it all evolved from there - all according to "His Plan," and evolution occurred just as our scientists say (understanding this within our limited capability to understand of _any of this) - - - so the whole Adam & Eve thing being set down in The Garden is a metaphor, you see - i am sure you have heard that before - and that's religion: all allegory and metaphor, a story-telling. Faith, of course, is a different matter - that relates more to how people react to what they believe. Religion is a way for us to understand, make sense of our lives and apply ourselves, to pass on knowledge, just as Science is a way for us to understand, etc. Faith is where we shall find morality; again - thats a different matter.

this all, in fact, is how we evolved to be who we are now, in this place and time = we are fortunate to have both faith- and scientific-based views upon this world we are living in, utilizing our imaginations and skills through both "scientific" and "spiritual" means. i believe that this is how we evolved to be who we are. the separation of religion and science are fairly new when it comes to human evolution! [please see final note below!]
