I see a lot of unbelievers here feel that science and the Christian Bible are at odds w/each other.
Other than the theory of (macro) evolution, what aspects of science do you feel are in opposition to the bible?
In science one only entertains theories and hypotheses that can be proven by experimental evidence. Theories such as evolution and the big bang (cosmology) are widely accepted in the scientific community rather than intelligent design because they can better explain what we observe experimentally. In science one makes a theory to describe what we observe, and then as we discover more things or find inadequacies in the theory, it is thrown out and replaced or refined to better fit what we observe.
In religion one must accept what one is told or reads based on faith, generally due to indoctrination from the time of youth, because one's family tells one what to believe, or he or she is too scared to believe otherwise (ie: fear of not knowing what happens after death).
As an aspiring professional scientist (I will begin graduate studies next month), I have to admit that science and religion are necessarily at odds. Although there are plenty of scientists who believe in God, it is simply in stark contrast to the very nature of scientific investigation to simply believe something for which there is no evidence. Thousands of years ago when the earth seemed flat and the sky seemed unreachable, it seemed likely that an intelligent being created life, that heaven is in the sky, etc, but with scientific advancement those notions have long been supplanted.
