Good piece, worth careful reading. This fits more or less my view of the matter, which is that creation is not yet complete and continues to this day... and that evolution and its various competing theories are arguments about tools in the tool bag. The Bible reveals to us that God did certain things; science attempts to figure out "how" he did it.

I have personally never seen any automatic conflict between the notion that God created the earth and the scientists' attempt to understand the mechanics and underlying principles of creation. My understanding, in fact, is that God commands us to try and learn the underlying principles.

Define "science" in your remark. Should a Christian put his trust in an atheistic evolutionary scientist who works on the presupposition that there is no God, and therefore all of subsequent discoveries will have naturalistic explanations? Is this type of "science" part of what you consider to be reliable science?
