I have made peace with my beliefs and have concluded that science and religion are compatible. Science is the search for truth. God is truth.
Why is the religious right so adamant that some scientific truths are ridiculous?
The truth that the Earth revolves around the sun, the truth of evolution, the truth of DNA, etc., are all bunk at one point in time.
Science and religion are looking for the same thing...truth...and the fact that the scientists and not the holy men are finding the truth first makes them dispute the credibility of their work.

You are the first person I have seen on here that has any inkling of common sense. Not a single person has answered any of my questions in any intelligent manner.
Thank you for attempting to inform them of the existence of intelligent religious people.

I don't really think you are using truth in the same way for each of these disciplines. Truth in science has to do with understanding and explanation. Meaning is irrelevant, and in fact not a part of the quest. Truth in religion, however, involves determining why we are here, what we should do, and the nature of our relationships with others, ourselves, our environment and any deities involved. This truth is claimed without the need for observable evidence. So while science and religion are not necessarily incompatible, I don't believe they are different ways of searching for the same thing.

Evolution is not science, never has been, never will be. It is not testable nor repeatable. It is a philosophy, a belief, and a hoax. Actually, it was philosophers before the time of Christ who came up with the idea of the origin of the earth without God. I would challenge you to check the ICR web sight and their RATE project.
"Four members of the RATE team presented evidence for the young age of the earth at First Baptist Church of Roanoke, VA on Saturday, May 20. Dr. Russell Humphreys, Dr. Andrew Snelling, Dr. John Baumgardner, and Dr. Larry Vardiman described the exciting results of the project to about 750 participants at ICR’s first RATE conference on the East Coast. The crowd showed real enthusiasm for the studies on helium diffusion rates, fission tracks, radiohalos, and carbon-14 in coal and diamonds which support an earth 6,000 ± 2,000 years old"
I would send you to www.creationscience.com where Dr. Walt Brown does a thorough and complete explanation of all scientific aspects related to Creation and evolution.
And I give you a quote from one of the high priests of Atheism, Antony Flew:
"My one and only piece of relevant evidence [for an Aristotelian God] is the apparent impossibility of providing a naturalistic theory of the origin from DNA of the first reproducing species ... [In fact] the only reason which I have for beginning to think of believing in a First Cause god is the impossibility of providing a naturalistic account of the origin of the first reproducing organisms." (private interview with Antony Flew, Dec 2004)
Real science and Christianity co-exist nicely, it is psuodo-science we have a problem with.

True science and true religion do concur with each other.

True Science and True Religion can exist together, but it must both be true, Modern Christianity and Modern Science are butting heads. In the True Religion Science is just as important as religion, one teaches to have faith in God and one teaches about his creations.

They can co-exist. And though both are looking for Truth, the "truth" is different. Science seeks physical truth... religion seeks spiritual truth.

religion is incredibly threatened by science, but fortunately, has never ONCE won in a fight against it.
In a debate between superstition and observable evidence, superstition always loses.

There are many scientific facts stated in Al-Qur'an long before technology could prove that they are correct.

The Bible was looked for, and found.
Science is still looking.
