Science and God

They can co-exist. Despite the extreme opinion on both sides of this argument, I think most people believe in the existence of both, as expressed by Professor Colling here, from the WSJ.com - Science Journal:
"Unlike those who see evolution as an assault on faith, Prof. Colling finds it strengthens his own. 'A God who can harness the laws of randomness and chaos, and create beauty and wonder and all of these marvelous structures, is a lot more creative than fundamentalists give him credit for,' he told me. Creating the laws of physics and chemistry that, over the eons, coaxed life from nonliving molecules is something he finds just as awe inspiring as the idea that God instantly and supernaturally created life from nonlife."
