No there is not. The “science” in the case you describe is demanding that there be no reference to a creator. That Creator, conversely, demands that all references to His creation include the proper acknowledgement. Thus, if we acquiesce to your perspective, we are granting “science” the preeminent spot in the universe. That is, its preferences are permitted to set the agenda.

Now, granted, they will win, during this brief period of struggle. Nevertheless, to allow them to “win” by suppressing the proper discussion is not the same thing as saying that evolution is compatible with biblical Christianity.

Science can only deal with what is measurable and can be compelled to act replicably and predictably. Do you propose that God is measurable, that God can be made to act replicably and predictably?

Science has no mechanism to either include or exclude God. For those of us who are Christians or people of faith (as the majority of scientists in the USA are) it is axiomatic. ALL things in creation are of God. For those that do not share this faith, the data still speaks for itself.

I am not demanding that science be “granted” “the preeminent spot in the universe”; I merely point out that science does what it does, and what it does is science, and science cannot include God and still be science.
