Because science and theology are looking at the same thing and if both are right they should not be contradicting each other.
That is my point and I am sticking by it.
So, let's take one major example - creation of the Universe/Earth.
1 Buga sets fire to an ocean revealing the land. Buga creates light...Tungusic
2 Yahweh creates everything in 6 days etc...Christianity
3 A formless chaos transformed into a cosmic egg over 18,000 years. Pangu creates the Earth with his axe...Pangu legend
4 Earth is a floating island of seawater hanging by ropes from the sky. A water beetle brings some mud from the bottom to create Earth...Cherokee
5 Sons of Burr lift the Earth from the sea...Norse
Which one of these (of many, many more) should we consider to see if it contradicts the widely accepted theory of an accretion disc formed from the nebula that created the solar system?
