This remembers me a metaphor:
A group of people lived his entire life in the darkness. So, as they didn't see anything around them, they thougt the ground they step was surounded by the "abyss".
Some day they discovered fire. And the fire illuminated the ground and make the darkness
retreat and people saw that the so called "abyss" around them was just more firm ground.
Then was said that the "abyss" was a little more far than they thougt, just where the light does't reach.
This illustrates my opinion about conciliations between religion and science. Religion doesn't need to fear science because there will always be darkness. Where the "abyss" can be seen and enjoyed.
But, speaking for myself, I prefer to wait for the light before say what I am seeing.
(sorry for the english, again)
