I believe in science because no one can disprove scientific observations that are informative and truthful. I believe in evolution because there are data that proves that evolution occurred. I don't believe in Adam and Eve because wouldn't all of us be committing incest with each other?

i agree with u. i believe in science. because its believable. just because science is more convincing and u trust it does'nt mean u don't trust in god. god is god and we pray and trust him. and we continue with our scientific endeavours. god created every thing..we are only trying to understand and appreciate his creation through our scientific observations. so i believe in science and trust in god.

Religion and science are not mutually exclusive. It is reasonable to suggest that God gave us the ability to understand science. Maybe the Bible was not meant to be taken literally, or simply was written before we had the knowledge that we have today. That doesn't mean that there is no God.
Problems arise when new knowledge is seen as a threat. Rather than embrace knowledge as a gift from God, some people try to suppress it.
In the scientific world, it doesn't matter much if a theory is proven or disproven. Either way we learn something. Scientists are only looking for the truth, while religious leaders often have entire worlds built on their particular theory.
Always be suspicious of whoever has the most to lose...
Peace

I believe that God comes first, but science is important as well. We say that we have to prove one right and the other wrong, the more we try that the more we prove both.
God does things through all of us and we in turn use the tools(science) to care and find out things. Not something I could not say proving one is better than the other. I love science, but it takes more to believe we came from a missing link then what my heart and head can somehow feel. We need science to help us understand our world and beyond.
Just my thinking, and with God anything is possible, please don't ask me how, I'm only human. And science give me answers to help.

This is a matter in which I am not cold nor hot; I am in the middle: I am a religious person, I believe in God, I pray, I go to church, I have had most of my prayers answered... But I find it hard to cope with the fact that all the information we get about God has been given to us through men, so it is distortioned (distorted?... sorry, my english is not very good). Undoubtedly, I believe in evolution but I also believe there's someone above watching and protecting us.

Both go hand in hand. Science as a method of understanding reality helps us understand and perfect our higher notions and ideas. Science doesn't try to prove or un-prove the existence of God. But it can prove that those who do determine their reality through their experience with those religious definitions integrated into their thinking has a qualitative effect that is not of the same quality as those who do not.

I agree with Rexy Poo ,I'd take Christianity over Science, yet I find Science interesting. I HATE evolution,Big Bang, etc. because Example:Evolution is practically:dirt turned into fuit,fruit turned into monkey,monkey turned into ape,ape turned into caveman, & caveman became humans. It's dumb. How was the world created with out a Creator?Genesis 1:1 says: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Say I don't agree with you.

I see no conflict between the two. Adam took a rib and we have eve. One cell protoplasm divided and began evolution.
In the beginning their was a void, an the higher power said let there be light. In the beginning there was a void, the big bang, and believe me their was light, etc. etc., etc..

Yup - hand in hand, all other details aside.
Before there were scientists, there were philosophers, (which are combinations of believers, imagineers, and scientists...)
They made up myths in ancient Greek that answered their questions about nature. Gradually that lead to more questions that science could help answer.
Scientists today need to make up theories too, just like the Greeks, before they invent, they need to imagine sometimes outside of the realm that is 'possible'.
Thus I believe in both.

no one can disprove scientific observations that are informative and truthful-
That's totally wrong, where have you been?
I believe in both to some extent, and I believe in God; I'm not ignorant.
You can't have one without the other, basically.
