I know this thread has long since been dead — can’t help adding my two cents nevertheless …
@BIRDS: Religion is NOT just “leftover from the infancy of our intelligence, and our lack of science”; Religion is meant to be a remainder of the fact that the most important thing in life is LOVE (which is God ), something that science completely forgets about.
Oh alright, most churches have forgotten that as well, but at least it’s in the holy books …

Evelyn, the reason those subjects go hand– in hand, is because a huge part of every religion is explaining how the universe works. Religion is leftover from the infancy of our intelligence, and our lack of science. Now that Modern science is in effect, we can understand, with tangible, physical evidence, how things work, without the assumption that we should remain ignorant and simply accept any God’s word as infallible, because he/it/omnipresent force.. says so. By the explanations of the Universe as told by the old testament, this is what the world looks like. http://www.boingboing.net/2009/11/10/hebr.jpg

And that– we know is wrong.
God lied?
Or Humans made it up. You decide.

I’m of a very young age and am looking to expand my mind a bit. I hope that these books will achieve my goal. But reading about evolution, science and space, it doesn’t have to change your religion. I’m a very religious girl, but it is nice to read about HOW scientist think things will turn out. It’s just a nice change, is all.

Geeza: I’m not sure if you’re with me or against me. Fortunately, there’s a difference between a belief in something and faith. You can believe in something because of the mountains of evidence in its favour, whereas faith implies belief without evidence.

In my mind, the evidence for evolution is good enough to explain everything.
