Exactly. I've told my kids that, in the Bible, God told us what he did. It's up to scientists to figure out how he did it. Faith and reason do not have to be at odds with each other.

I am not a Six-Day-Earther, but I object to the classical Theory of Evolution being taught as if it wasproven Law. If no one was there to see it, and we have no video tape or first hand evidence, it is just a collection of ideas that partially support a conclusion. There may be a more complex theory that incorporates Biblical scholarship and hard science, but it won't be found by a lazy scientific community that has decided that there is no God, and won't even consider alternatives to what "Survival of the Fittest" has become to be viewed as. When did Science stop being about considering all possibilities?

It would be a mistake to teach your kids that scientists are figuring out 'how God did it'.

I teach my kids that scientists *start* with the assumption that there is no God and there pronouncement proceed from there.

Totally unreliable as a 'reasonable' method for determining 'how God did it'.
