Hi Linda. While I find science interesting, I don't have the "trust" in it that many people seem to do. In many ways, science has become a new religion - one that is set up in opposition to other faith systems, one that certain people put all their faith in. I personally can't do that, not given how science is continually advancing and old theories continually proved wrong. The scienfic knowledge of today may be no more than a scientific myth tomorrow.

As to creation versus evolution, I don't personally believe creation had to either happen in days or millions of years. I don't know, and I don't believe science does either. To me, trying to know how we got here is like an ant trying to wonder how the paving slab its walking on got beneath its feet. If a God made the universe, or more specifically the world, then the power of that God (compared to human) would be awesome. Thus, that God could manipulate nature so that what appears to science to have taken millions of years, could have taken God only seconds - i.e. could speed up nature at his will and then slow it down to our mortal pace. If a God can create the laws of nature, laws that science attemps to study, then that God can manipulate them.

Science does not, in general, concede that there is a supernatural world i.e. one that exists in energy rather than matter. But because we lack the technology to detect non-material entities, doesn't mean they don't exist. A scientist should, at the very least, be open-minded, because a closed-mind cannot investigate without prejudice. Everyone is prejudiced, of course, but it is a scientists job to understand the natural world better and not exclude the supernatural world because they personally have not had supernatural encounters. So many people have claimed to, in so many cultures over so many generations.
