"And further, you know that this same kind of discussion will be brought up in high school "science" classes when they're forced to bring up "Intelligent Design". Either the teacher, or certainly some atheist classmates, will bring up these questions and the faith of some of these young people will be severely challenged. Some, certainly, will decide then and there that God is a fairy tale, and will reject Him for life."

Um, this happens today with evolution. Crevo discussions have existed since evolutions conception. This is a straw man argument.

Evolution speaks against the God of the Bible. It certainly has caused young children to question thier beliefs. So please spare us this false dichotomy.

If a religious belief is so weak that it is challenged by a scientific theory, it wasn't too sincere in the first place......

If the teacher lets the discussion go away from science and get into religion, then yes that's what happens.

But my point is that people with your interpretation of Genesis set up the conflict. Science does not, it merely studies the physical evidence of Gods creation and comes to the best conclusion it can.

If you had the wisdom of the Pope to say up front that there is no conflict between science and the Bible. That any such "conflict" was prejudged to be a disagreement between men and not between Gods creation and His Bible. Then the conflict and the challenge to young people's faith vanishes.

Wrong. You are the problem. You have created the conflict between Gods creation vs. Gods Word. You have the power to end the conflict by acknowledging that the two cannot conflict by definition. Only man's interpretations can conflict and you have misinterpreted the Bible.

It's Ok. People interpret the Bible wrong every day.
