I think the problem with the Creation vs Evolution debate is that it's like trying to have a debate among opponents with entirely different "languages" (actually, more like divergent woldviews). Creationists interpret the world through a lens of faith and adherence to Scripture in a literal sense -- to them, you can argue the science of evolution all day long and it won't change their minds a bit. They will probably just tell you that your faith is weak and this makes you incapable of seeing the truth of their position. On the other hand, the evolution folks interpret the world through empiricism and rationality rather than faith and mysticism. You can quote any verse from the Bible you want, but it won't convince them that God created the World in seven days (although maybe some Christians will harmonize this by thinking of 7 days as a metaphor rather than something to take literally).

Bottom line -- religion and science for me are like non-intersecting planes. They exist independent of one another at times, making them extremely hard to reconcile.[/quote]
