Science is not religion. Religion is not science. The complete human needs both.

The Bible is not a science textbook. It is the best basic explanation of how life (and everything else) started. And it is the best guide to "complete humanity" -- including both physical morality and spiritual security.

Darwinism is, so far, man's "best shot" at attempting to understand how life (once it started) arrived at the condition in which it now exists. There is slim hope that science will ever satisfactorily explain the absolute origin of the physical universe. There is zero chance that science will ever explain -- or even, approximate -- religion.

"E = MC²" -- and -- "I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life."

Both are divine truths.

I am a scientist (physical chemist, now retired) -- and -- I am a Christian and believer in Divine creation and design of the universe, and all that it contains. I apologize for neither. I am superbly comfortable and secure with both my science and my religion.

Ask yourself, (no need to try and convince the rest of us); "How secure and comfortable am I with my future -- considering that I realize that I am afflicted with a terminal disease, known as 'life'?"

I am happy and secure in both "worlds" -- and look forward to departing this life with great assurance of entering a better life. Can you say the same?

"E = MC2" -- and -- "I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life." Both are divine truths.Both may be truths, but the latter is a guess. It may be BS too.

If man evolved from primates then where did the primates evolve from... on back like that..
If evolution of primates(people) happened then God might be a mental construct..

If it didn't happen then God might NOT be a mental construct.. and there is some other answer(s) to human origination..

No doubt about it.. faith is required to believe any supposition of orgination.. If you believe in God that "is" a mental construct then.. what is lost?.. If you do not believe in a God that is a mental construct then.. what is to be gained?..

Because God might not be a mental construct.. and not your mental accuity(smartness) is being tested but your faith..

Thank you oh so very much for sharing your testimony, dear brother in Christ!

Of a truth, the words of God are spirit and they are life.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life. - John 6:63

The words of men are neither spirit nor life.

The Scriptures, the words of God, are not in the same category with the words of science, math, history, etc.

Man is not the measure of God.

To God be the glory!
