Here is just my two cents, being a Roman Catholic I beleve in God but I also believe in science. My own opinion is that the two were ment to live in the same world, and frankly in the same room. As when it comes to evolution, there is so much scientific evidence that supports it that anyone who denies it is just not right in the head. My personal opinion is that God was directing the evolution of our species, and many other Cahtolics that I have talked to believe the same thing.

Also when it comes to the bible, very few people outside of evangelicitsts (sp?) believe that the world was created in 7 days. Many Catholics I have talked to believe that the world was created over time and the bible just breaks it down so we can understand the long process. I really don't want to read a scientific paper in there.

I also believe that many things in the bible are fact, I also that there are some things that science can't explain. However I also want to hit people who say "because it wasn't in the bible therefore it was created by (etc)" for any of the arguments. I believe in both and frankly I believe that ther are some things that science can back up in religion.
