Of course they can. |

Not only do they co-exist, they go hand in hand. If there is a real God, that God knows that
science rules. Scientific reality is God's own creation. God plays by God's own rules, and God's
rules are SCIENCE! |

God created the consistent, reliable and universal physical laws of science that we have discovered
and will continue to discover, so how would it be possible for God and science not to co-exist? The
famous and currently living biblical creation scientists who founded most of the traditional
sciences that we enjoy today found no conflict between God and science. Their purpose was to
discover the intricacies of God’s creation.
The implied but erroneous assumption in your question is that you are equating “evolution” with
science. However, evolution is a religious or philosophical presupposition about an unprovable past
which can neither be repeated nor tested by the scientific method. In that regard, it is no
different than creation theory. Therefore, it does not fall under the realm of “operational
science” which has given us medical breakthroughs and new technologies.
Both creation scientists and evolutionists accept the “facts” of science that we can test and
observe. Among those are mutations, natural selection and rapid speciation. Creation scientists
accept these as important cornerstones to creation theory which have enabled the originally created
and genetically robust forms of life to have been able to diversify and spread over the earth in a
“downhill” process of lessening genetic diversity and mutation.
The leap of faith that evolutionists expect people to believe without any observable evidence is
that the diversity of life we see today originated in an “uphill” process which added
insurmountable mountains of information and specified complexity to an original simple life form
which itself arose from inorganic matter. All this, while breaking the scientific laws of
biogenesis, probability and thermodynamics (which applies equally to both closed and open systems).
Science should be a search for the truth which is not necessarily a religiously held naturalistic or
materialistic cause. The only way to know what happened for sure since no one alive today was there,
is to have an eye-witness account. The creationists have this in the Bible which God gave to us so
that we would know the truth. This is just as valid historical evidence as any other archeological
finds which, by the way, all support the Bible’s version of history.
Since evolution is not based on sound scientific evidence or principles but rather on an atheistic
religious belief, you should be asking “Can Evolution and Science Co-exist”. The answer would
then be NO. |

To me science is not evidence to disprove the existence of God but rather the revelation of His
work.
Now, I am a creationist and I totally reject the THEORY of species jumping evolution. I do believe
animals either die off or they evolve (meaning adapt and change) to their environment but they
always remain the same species.
As for miracles. Most, not all, could be scientifically explained but it was God's timing and work
that made them occur.
I look at Earth and observe the science about the Earth. We just so happen to have just the right
combination and amounts of chemicals and elements with just the right kind of star, in just a
precise orbit around that stat and in just a rare but specific place in the galaxy. Our continents
and oceans and the atmosphere are formed just so precisely to support the abundance of life we have
here on planet Earth. Even how the other planets are placed in our solar system, because without
the gas giants and their strong gravitational pulls, life could not exist here on Earth being
constantly bombarded with all asteroids and meteors flying around. I see all of this and I cannot
see how anyone can dispute the existence of God. |

For "god" and science to coexist would require that a "god" exist.
Since there are no "gods", the point is moot, but yes, it is possible. |

Yes, technically. But I do think it's kind of cheating. Whatever science says is right, but God
did it. Sure. |

I think god can exist and not contradict science. Depending on what god is. I cannot imagine what
god might be for this to be true, certainly not the one described in any of the holy books. As for
creationism vs Evolution - that one is dead, evolution is a theory backed up by fact upon fact
tested by science, a model that is the true test. Creationism is created by the religious to rescue
their religion as they are too stuborn to admit that the bible might not be factually correct. Of
course most know that it wasn't intended to be but these are people who are blinkered to the truth.
If god and science can both be correct then the religious must accept that it can only co-exist on
science's terms. |

No. It says God created the universe, not everything evolved.
You believe in one or the other:
Blind chance or creation |

It depends on what you mean by "God". If you're talking about personal, private faith in a deity
that you do not attempt to impose on anyone else, then sure, they can co-exist. However, that's
never what anyone refers to. When reality and religion come into conflict, religion is always
wrong, yet the religious are so deluded that they cannot see the facts through their ridiculous
faith. So long as people allow their beliefs to control their view of reality, religion has no
place in the world and cannot ever be expected to peacefully co-exist with science. |

Scientist spend their time trying to see if they can prove themselves wrong and normally they do.
I have no faith scientist will ever stop trying to prove God.
First you need to believe in God.
The door is still open. |

Right? God is based on faith not truth. Science is supplied with evidence. God is supplied with men
proclaiming hope love and justice. |

When you look up into the heavens on a dark clear night, and wonder who made all those billions of
twinkling stars, how on earth can you possibly say 'Science', and 'God' is equal? |
