Science and Religion ? 
Q. How can a Christian accept and in fact agree with evolutionary theory?! 
A. Because the theory of biological evolution is the best natural (scientific) explanation of the unity & diversity of life.
Q. Doesn't evolution prove there is no God? 
A. Science does not prove or disprove God, and in fact true science is silent on such topics because these very important questions are not subject to experimentation  and therefore are outside the realm of science.  Anyone that states anything to the contrary is merely relating their personal opinion or worldview  and not speaking on behalf of the scientific community.

"Science as Compassion" - Wendee Holtcamp explores science related career choices  and how it is compatible with Christianity.

Science in a Christian Perspective

The American Scientific Affiliation
is a fellowship of men and women in science and disciplines that relate to science who share a common fidelity to the Word of God and a commitment to integrity in the practice of science.

Click on the fish to read the excellent paper "Fish Wars" by Windee Holtcamp a wildlife biologist and science writer that explores the contoversy between science and religion and explains this particular worldview that allows practicing scientists to embrace both the tennets of scientific theory and be persons of deep religious faith. 

Quotes to Ponder...

"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind." Albert Einstein

"Science can purify religion from error and superstition; religion can purify science from idolatry and false absolutes. Each can draw the other into a wider world, a world in which both can flourish."  Pope John Paul II

"There is widespread suspicion of science, fostered by the feeling that science goes against the Bible," Houghton has said. "This is very unfortunate; it takes a very small view of God, and a very inadequate view of science."   Sir John Houghton

“[ I have] gradually learnt to see that it is just as noble a conception of the Deity to believe that He created a few original forms capable of self-development into other and needful forms, as to believe that He required a fresh act of creation to supply the voids caused by the action of His laws.”
   Charles Darwin - On the Origin of Species 2nd ed. Speaking of correspondence from Rev. Charles Kingsley  - Vicar Eversley Hampshire – Chaplin in Ordinary to Queen Victoria 1859.
