A Teacher on the Front Line as Faith and Science Clash - NYTimes.com

Registration required. Idiotic New York Times. Try BugMeNot.

Nature evolves. That's a fact. What works in Nature, remains; what doesn't, gets eliminated. That's a fact. Why those facts are seen to clash with faith-based beliefs is a travesty, for there's no need for that to happen. Science searches for an explanantion; Faith gives you one, if you choose it. Seems to Me there's plenty of ground between them to live and let live.

Ah, but that's the rub, isn't it? "To let live" is a level of maturity way out of the reach of way too many people.
