Bundy,
No, that isn't provocative at all. It is simply that I don't like anyone making sweeping pronouncements and statements of fact when the truth is that we don't know. And then pointing at others and calling them "ignorant" or "stupid", well...
But to answer your question, I am pretty much lock step with greytone above. I am a scientist by training and I believe science is how to describe the origins of the universe. Our current, best theory is that there was an event we term "The Big Bang" followed by expansion and eventual development of stars and solar systems. In turn, life started on our own ball of rock and evolved into what it is now.
There is no conflict between my faith and my understanding of science. I personally am saddened that there is a large portion of Christians who cannot see this, but I do not believe they are in the majority.
Perhaps more importantly, so long as they follow the teachings of Jesus, such as "Love your neighbor as yourself", it really doesn't matter.
