Another example of just not getting it ...
A few years ago I went to a series of talks by Ken Ham (OK, there was someone else, but I forget their name). During this he showed this cartoon of two castles - one labelled "atheism" sitting on a rock called "Evolution" and the other "Christianity" sitting on a rock called "Creation" - with people firing cannon balls at the other castle. My first thought was, "Well my Christian faith has Christ as a foundation not Creation" closely followed by "the atheists I know wouldn't consider Evolution as the foundation of their beliefs either". If you're going to use this sort of illustration then subjects such as Creation, science, Biblical passages are more akin to the walls of the castles or cannon balls than the foundations. But I don't hold the model of conflict between science and faith to be either an accurate description of the current or past situations, nor useful as a way forward.
Oh, and Ken Ham kept showing the same cartoon again and again, as though repetition of a stupid idea will make it seem sensible
