Well Darwin's theory is a religion as well. So it's not "Science vs Religion", it's Religion vs Religion.
Religion = a set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe
Evolution is a belief, it has yet to be proven or seen at the macro scale and higher. And micro-evolution is still disputed as leading to macro-evolution at all. Micro-evolution being changes and variations in the gene pool. And macro-evolution being changes in species.
I believe in the Bible because I choose to. But after believing in it now I know it to be true. I know it is true because I've experienced the things it talks about and seen its philosophies proven true. I've seen demons, I've seen miracles, and I've felt God.
How do I know it's God? Well imagine this unexplainable feeling 'telling' you to do something (that runs parallel with the Bible's philosophies) when you have no desire or wish to do the thing it's telling you. You think to yourself "I am not going to do that." And then the feeling persists and it feels as though your heart has a fever, like it's on fire. God does this when He wants too.

It is ironic that science and magic were thrown together during the Church’s persecution of new ideas. Galileo suffered as much as Agrippa. Now that science reigns supreme, religion and magic have been put in the same category. Both are considered Airy-Fairy subjects, not to be seriously pursued be intelligent people – archaic carryovers from a superstitious past.

Unlike the Bible, the Q'aran, the Torah, or any other religious book , the ToE has a large mountain of evidence behind it, makes testable predictions that bear findable results, and has been routinely studied and modified as better information is found.
Science is not at war with religion. Creationists, however, insist on being at war with science...not just biology either...all of it.

I believe Darwin's theory....but it only concerns itself with how life changes, not how it began. (I wish religious folk would accept this valid point). It offers us so much less than religious texts. Religious texts put forth a way of life. Darwin's work only explains (correctly), how life changes. There is a HUGE difference. Darwin did not create a religion, and he was not trying to fight against religion.

None of them...but I believe Darwin's theory is much more thought provoking, has more evidence, is much closer to the truth, and is presented in a way that simply gives you evidence to draw a conclusion. It doesn't target your emotions to make you believe in irrationality like most religions, so it's the winner by me.

Unknown simplicity. it is not a science versus religion, it is Children of the God or Children of the Devil? Jeremiah Groves is called My Father.

No such conflict exists. I believe the truths in the Bible because God has revealed himself to me and I believe him.

They go hand in hand, but one has to be smart to see that.

The Bible tells us that it happened, it doesn't tell us the mechanics.

why do you suggest the science is against religion. God created science and mathmatics and geology, and a host of other things that people study. God is the author of it ALL.
