I thought some folks here would be interested in this site.  Some of the brightest minds in science today discussing the relationship between science, faith and religion.  Be forewarned that pretty well all the speakers come from an atheist viewpoint, but despite that there remains some lively debate.  It seems the entire conference is available for online viewing.  There's over 15 hours there, and I haven't watched everything yet, myself.  However, if you want just a taste I would recommend Neil deGrasse Tyson at the beginning of session 2, especially near the end when he discusses "Stupid Design."

Oh, goodie. A new 'science vs. religion' thread.

This should keep a few spleens here well-vented twixt now and Kingdom come.

Well, from the less-than-deafening response so far, I'd say you have nothing to worry about!

Honestly, I'm not trying to stir up trouble here.  I just thought this was quite an amazing resource to have available for free on the internet, and thought others might enjoy it as much as I have.  No offence intended, and I hope none caused.

No problem here, fella. I gave up getting into such endless 'discussions' long ago. ;D

But, as you've rightly observed, I don't think we have anything to worry about in this case. ;)

Their is no reason science and religion cannot coexist - the folks at the Creation Museum say so
