But the poll also found that confidence in the big bang declines as belief in a Supreme Being increases...

I really don't understand this. Scientists are driven to describe the physical universe, as accurately and in as much detail as possible. Yet some fundamentalists regard scientists as tools of the devil for being so literal and descriptive. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why describing creation as it actually is, and not as it was figuratively described in a book of moral lessons, is so threatening.

Nevertheless, religion will adapt to embrace the modern understanding of the world, just as it eventually accepted Gallileo's findings.

Galileo was a Christian.

He fought against an “Establishment” Church.

Christians should NEVER be subservient to the manmade construct of what science has become.

Can you use the “scientific Method” to prove “Logic” is real ?

If so, how ?

By using logic?

“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountain of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”

Many believe literally in the Bible as the word of God. They perceive these hypotheses as attacks on their religion, hence as personal attacks.
