Why is it that we always polarize the two? It is my belief, that the two are closer than most people think.
Lets say for example, God is Nature. God created Nature (according to many religous texts), therefore he should be referred to as Nature in this example. Now, Science tries to explain Nature. Science is there to explain our natural world, which for the most part, is unkown. Since Nature is unkown, Science exists to explain it, yet God is there to explain Nature and the unkown as well (the uknown, being lots of things, such as the unkown afterlife, if there is one that is). So doesn't Religion and Science wish to do the same thing? Science wishes to explain creation with the Big Bang. Creationists wish to take God's word literally.
So, there is a "missing link" in this debate. Thats where this site comes in. If your going to participate in this debate, please read everything in the link I have provided. It makes alot of sense, mainly because of their mathematical way of explaining it.
The point of this debate is to see if, in the end, anyone can agree with this.
"Undoubtedly the evolutionist versus creationist debate will continue for many years to come. Maybe, both sides could explore how they interpret the Genesis account and see, that where there has been conflict and contradiction, there is, in fact, harmony between science and the Bible."
