I'll say two things again.
1. Belief in gods is not logical. It doesn't have to be logical, unless (of course) you're claiming it is. Then you'll need lay it out in terms more compelling than personal incredulity.
2. There is nothing...repeat, NOTHING...about evolution which precludes or threatens belief in deities. Millions of people are able to resolve the two without it impacting their faith or commitment to whatever gods they believe in.

Does SCIENCE, and RELIGION need to always do battle?
In my opinion the conflict comes from the misunderstandings
of science ---and---of Religion
Of the individuals that embody either subject none have any understanding of the mystical, magical Universe they exist in.
While believers in religions will look to written ideas they accept as ultimate truisms. Believers in scientific methods look to scientific texts for the proofs they do not possess either.
Here! The debate is not what I say in the opening of the thread, but what I, as well as any other participating individual has to offer up, as the thread progresses. There is no one pathway for this thread to take, but the main thrust should be on why skeptics, and religions exist side by side in the face of such misunderstandings of one another.
In true form of Macs request to maintain sanity to the subject. I would ask that when someone posts his/her opinions that the reader does not conflict with quotes from the post, but comment on the ideas made in the post. Being for, or against an opinion one can, in such a manner, advance the ideas unto an conclusion of some sort!
Thanks
