I think we are close to an amiable solution, because this is exactly what we are asking for: keep these fields (science and theology) separate.

If theology and science are supposed to be kept separate, then where to scientists get off telling creationists and Christians how to interpret the Bible, saying that God really meant that He used evolution in Genesis when it clearly says He didn't?

Where do scientists get off telling people how to interpret the Bible so that it *proves* that the earth is flat?

Evos keep spreading lies about the beliefs of creationists, despite being corrected by creationists time without number.

Don't scientists have any compunction or scruples about lying? No ethical or moral basis for saying that lying is wrong?

"Where do scientists get off(...)"

IN RESPONSE to your perverting science. Don't do it, so rebuttals won't be necessary.

Keep’em separated? What a laugh. Both positions deal with the unobservable, unrepeatable past. And while much empirical science is drawn upon by both sides in support of their respective points of view, said empirical science is used to make inferences about the past, it doesn’t investigate the past events themselves. As such, both sides of the debate are engaged in what is called historical science. And in historical science, the name of the game is “multiple competing hypothesis.” Creation and ID represent two of those competing hypothesis, and evolution is a third. May the best hypothesis win!

Why should they be kept separate? and How could they be even if that were desired?
