Dr. Palmer,  This article is an interview with Kenneth Miller, a christian and an evolutionist, who is a professor of Biology.

I thought Miller had some interesting points of view concerning science and religion.  He believes that faith in religion does not mean that one must reject science, or vice versa. In his book, he writes "there is a deeper problem caused by the opponents of evolution, a problem for religion."  What he means by this is that when religion places itself in conflict with science, religion loses ground whenever science increases in its understanding of the world.  It is a mistake to reject evolution for creationism because it argues that religion is disapproved by the mechanisms of science.  It is possible to accept evolution while believing in a higher power.  This second article lists several differences between science and religion, as well as areas of overlap.

It may help explain how one can accept both science and religion.
