"Science v Religion"

[Esquilax]

For example I believe in seven literal days in Gen 1; but does it contradict with evolution? No, because if we believe in God we could believe that he was able (and did, according the bible) make beasts, insects, fish and birds without being forced to first make a blob/slime/single cell, etc...

So, essentially your "open minded" take on evolution vs creation is "it's okay, because creationism is correct!"

Because... evolution is in direct contradiction with the genesis account, and it's been proven to be correct. But you've claimed here that evolution is compatible with the creation account, and then referred solely to the creation account?

They are both systems of belief, there are fundamental assumptions made in the foundation of both constructs. They both provide censorship and hope (censorship in the form or rules to follow in the hope of a better - or everlasting - future). They are both anthropocentric. They are both sources of social and moral authority.

Noooooo...

Science is a tool, not a belief system. One can believe in many things, and still accept science as a method by which we can deepen our understanding of the world around us. Nobody has a belief in science; one can accept the findings of science or not, but doing so does not make one dogmatic toward science, or ascribing to the values of science, because science does not propose any.
