i pretty much break all your little sterotypes, I'm religious, and I believe in evolution. I'm a Biology student and the evidence for evolution doesn't lie, no matter how much one bends it to fit their preception. Evolution makes perfect sence when describing our material existance. But like Dr. Miller says in, Finding Darwins God, that it would be silly for a divine creator to have "flaws" in the divine plan. The flaws would be science not being able to prove something came about through naturalistic ways. That would mean that life was placed on this earth by a creator with scientific, empirical proof to back it up. This scenero would mean that we would need no faith, a cornerstone for many religions, and that we would never really have true free agency (with a scientifically proved god looming over our shoulders). Evolution hinders religion in no way, and it takes a truely arrogant mind to think so. I do think it is bad science to claim that god doesn't exist based on science, such as Richard Dawkins. It is not sciences part to dismiss the paranormal, because the paranormal can not be observed and critisized using the scientific method. This is my view as incoherently as i sound, take it or leave it.
