The Bible says that God created the world in six days, and the Bible is the inspired word of God. To the average creationist this is all that counts...

This always reminds me of a joke -- A man asks God, "what's a thousand years to you?" God replays, "a day." The man asks, "what's a million dollars to you?" God answers, "a penny." "God, can I have a penny?" asks the man. God answers, "yes, in a day."

What impresses me is that the order of creation in both the Bible and science is the same. I love the way the creation story reads in the New King James version (the old too). It is very powerful to me, "The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters..." It seems charged with energy and expectancy -- and then God says, "Let there be light, and there was light".

I have never seen the conflict between the Biblical and scientific, unless Christains want to deny process and scientists want to deny God.

I think--at least hope--that most scientists would be happy to let religion be religion if people will let science be science.
