As a freshman in High School I took AP Biology. The instructor for the lab and the class was a Nun. She had the best answer for the balance of science and religion I have ever heard, and it changed the way I look at religious and scientific philosophy since that day.

The conversation arose during a discussion on ameba and protozoa. Someone in the class asked the Nun (Sister Margret), how someone like her who is of the cloth, can teach something like evolution, when creationism as taught by the Holy Roman Church is in direct contrast.

Her answer sums it up best.

She told us that she believed both were true at there core. That a reasonable educated person could not disagree with the cold truth and facts of science that clearly showed the relative chain effects that drive evolution. That as well, evolution is not by chance, it is by design. Therefore if evolution is by design, then whose design is it by? That is where the metaphorical "God" entered the equation. It was by God's design that evolution took place and the outcome has resulted in bi-pedal humans.

Chomp on that for a moment...

In science you can not make something out of nothing.
Why do I say this?

Because energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Therefore, how did it all start?

Therefore, if God created everything, what did exists before God, who created god?

Yeah, pretty much.

As far as what came before God etc....

Those questions really cant be answered, so I dont spend much thought on them. I hypothesize that the universe exists simply because it can. Hence, if God can exist I think it more likely than not that he does.

There is of course, no proof.

Oh fucking please...First off, Drakiss is proof evolution can work in reverse, so we will give you that. Beyond which, that is some serious catholic horseshit to be sure. I applaud Sister Margret. Since I was very young, I was groomed to be the first Catholic Priest in my family. One of the things I learned along the way, before Deanna Drew taught me what I was giving up with celebacy, was that Catholics have a good, reasonable explaination for almost everything. I applaud that as well. However, no nun I ever knew in school, nor science teacher, has ever been able to explain several things. How for example there are human fossilzed footprints beside those of dinosaurs in the bedrock of Texas? How, if the same amount of cosmic dust falls on the surface of the moon every year that falls to earth, did Neil Armstrong not sink feet into the surface of the moon rather than inches, if indeed the earth and moon are as old as claimed? I could go on, but let's keep this at least to the areas best debated, not some moronic and pathetic attempt to explain it all with the spooge from the ocean and we evolved from monkeys thing. That one I just don't fly with.
