Re: A Question for Christians
[ QUOTE ]
Science and religion, it would seem, are both interested in truth, and inexorably they will meet each other at the mount.

It's an equivocation to think there is any connection between the truth that science seeks and the truth that religion seeks. Besides, most religions are about salvation or variations of that. IOW, a religion like xtrianity only asks that you accept jesus, there is no requirement or expectation of 'truth'even in whatever meaning that word would have in that context.
Natural selection vs ID is a good example. Do you really see the day that science says "yeah, I guess you're right, we'll destroy the evidence."
They are climbing different mounts. Since religion makes secular claims based on revelation and faith and science claims the material world is it's own to explore, there is no way for the two to BE reconciled, even if such a warm-fuzzy idea attracted some participants.
