> Science?! What BS! "Christian men of science" is about as contra- > dictory as "black is white". Let's not get carried away in our eagerness to disagree with those we dislike. There are many who are both true Christian and true scientists. There is nothing about the Christian religion that makes it neccessarily anagonistic to science. It's only when one's religion forces one to try to accept the Bible as totally true in every way that problems arise. (Considering the self contradictions within the Bible, members of such religions got problems, anyhow). Let's face it, there is really no contradiction between a belief in divine creation and a belief in evolution. Reconciling such beliefs is so easy that all major religions have done it (boy, am I gonna get it for that!?) It just seems difficult for some people to remember that religion can include science, but science, by definition, excludes religion. -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
