g_day, the only problem in this debtat and the point i am making is that Science may disagree with some faiths, but there are faiths out there that Science is in complete compliance with. Some faiths give purpose and encourage Scietific discovery also.

As to purpose perhaps i missunderstood what you said. I appologise. I do agree that mans increase in knowledge has made permited him to explore faith in more detail. And that is as it is meant to be. As our knowledge expands we see things more clearly than in the past. That is why i am a strong supporter of Science and encourage it. But when we use Science to interprets Faith we should also realiase that perhaps our Science has not reached a level where it can helpe us intepretate Faith yet. And perhaps there are some relegions that from the outset have encouraged Scietific discovery and have withstood any challenge made by Scienctific interpretation. Much science has come from faiths that encouraged it. And they are also the faith that you can find more in sync with Science.

My framework and background are perhaps diffrent to what your using to base faith on. The scientific community seems to have a bias towards Chrsitianity to compare anything to. Why dont you compare Science to other faiths and be fair in it. Islam for one does not claim any age to the earth nor does it claim that evolution did not occur. Perhpas when you clasify theory of Creation you might want to brooden your field, rather than just dealing with one Religion. Faith in a creator is not the domain of Christians only but many many other religions and as a Scientisit you sureley need to be fair in genralising comparission to all.

Lester you are right Faith does not need proof. But it does not discourage the search for knowledge or proof for things. The debate here is Faith vs Science, there is no point to this. Because Faith and Science are not at war. This vs is only man interpretation that somehows Faith and Science are against each other or at odds with each other. This is not true if you examine more than just one faith.
