For people so sure of themselves, y'all sure seem eager to quiet the opposition. Your definition of science includes evolutionary philosophy. My definition of religion includes evolutionary philosophy. Both depend on faith in order.
I believe in the Creation as a single event, over whatever time it took. I can picture "God said" as synonomous with BANG!
I can see the formation of our universe as His Word became solid, and formed into islands flinging through the ether. I can see "God said" in the land rising out of the seas. When, I don't know, but mI believe His Hands molded it.
By that, I do not propose He has physical hands, I see it as the forces He set in motion. We call the study of those things, "science". Science is an accepted thing, among the educated. But, not all things proposed are accepted by all. You really can't fool all of the people, all of the time.
Man is still trying to ignore God. But, man can't keep Him out of our lives. Is the study of life bad? Of course not. But, to ignore those who believe differently than you, is both ignorant and hypocritical.
Your belief system is based on speculation. It is accepted by faith. I have a lot of recorded observations, that I can use for reference. But, according to your liturgy, they were written by mortal men...
I guess you were there!
I will allow evolution to be taught, but not as science. It would be included as one explanation among many.
