Some Truths are Hard to Face
"... First off, the Bible is a book of faith. It tells us about God and our relationship with God. For this knowledge and understanding there is no better source. However, the Bible is not a science book. There is no need for conflict between science and religion — because science is merely attempting to explain what God has made. Science merely tries to figure out how the universe that God made works. There is no conflict.
"Whether God chooses to use billions of years and create the laws of physics to guide this universe into being, so be it. That doesn’t invalidate the Bible."
"... if you’re uncomfortable believing that humanity evolved from an ancestor of the apes — that is OK. Some truths are hard to face. Certainly humanity can act like animals at any given time. Or worse. We can systematically slaughter millions of our own kind out of the simple desire for power. Even the apes do not do that."
