One issue I have been studying for a long time is the relationship between science and Christianity. The problem comes when some folk on both sides of the issue try to exclude those of us who dwell in the middle. Some fundamentalist Christians will say that the only biblical interpretation allowable is 6 literal creation days several thousand years ago. Some fundamentalist atheist-evolutionists will declare that even considering the idea of creation is out of bounds. I am of the opinion that yes, the bible is true, and yes the evidence of science is that the universe is billions of years old and that there seems to be much evidence of descent from common ancestors, especially within the higher orders or "kinds" of life. I also don't find this to be a real contradiction. :-)
