To begin a friendly discussion, I can't get my head round the argument between Science and Religion, on this. I'm referring mainly to Christianity, as I'm not sure what the other faith's views are. (By the way, I was born a 'Roman Catholic', but now consider myself more of a 'Pagan' or 'Wiccan')

Christianity defeats me - They can accept that parts of the Bible are examples and parables, but then insist that other parts are word-for-word 'Absolute Truth'. Sorry folks, this just seems illogical to me.

The way I see it, Darwin's Theories (and all other sciences) just help to demonstrate the wonder of 'God's' (by whatever name) imagination, when he created everything.

I'd like to present a question/theory to anyone - The Bible says that the world was created in 7 days, and that's the main argument against Darwin etc.

OK, It's generally accepted that God is eternal and infinite, therefore: Was the world created in 7 'Earth' days or 7 of God's days? With all respect to God, he's be on a totally different timescale to us mere mortals.
