Evolution

[Mikem]

I see no reason why God and Science cannot coexist.  I went through a period where I was a firm athiest, having been educated in engineering among other things, but have reformed my views.

I absolutely believe in the laws of physics, and that they are the forces that shape our world.  I also believe, however, that God, whatever that is, created these laws and now his creation run free.  I do not believe that God interferes at all with the universe.  I think that he created a framework, then stepped back to watch.  With this point of view there is no reason that science cannot exist alongside God. 

As for teaching of evolution in schools, strongly strongly agree.  I think that learning evolution teaches much more than just how we got here.  It teaches children that our world is shaped by a progression of logic and chance, the abstract concept of which I believe is far more important than how fish grew legs.
