George Harris

I know that there are generally two schools of thought on how we came to be on this big old planet in the universe. there are those who are usually religious types who believe that god created all that is in the universe and us as well. all living creatures and that when we die those of us who are good and just and believers will ascend upon death to heaven, and those that are bad will end up in hell for their aferlife.

then there are those who believe in evolution, that at some point tens of millions of years ago we crawled out of the primordial goop, then from some little amoeba we evolved into primates, then into nearndethals then into humans, the form in which we currently are.

now here is my question, why is it that these two things cannot exist together, you know science and religion side by side? i mean could it not be possible that the maker in his/her infinite wisdom created the primordial goop from which we are supposed to have emerged.
