"..OK so you say that either you believe in God and no evolution or you believe in Evolution and no God? .." ~ aft_lizard

I think that the fact that most scientists - especially in biology - today are atheists - is the reason Christians aren't willing to listen to anything they have to say.

Francis Collins admits it takes great courage to admit to being a Christian among most of his colleagues in science today. He makes that point in the audio link I'm providing beelow. He also makes this point:

"You can't reason yourself all the way to faith. You can get there to the sense that faith is more plausible than atheism, and I would argue that atheism is the least rational of all choices because that assumes that you know enough to assume the possibility of God." [end quote]


Must We Have a Separation of Church and Science?

I assume you can provide a link or source to support that statement?
