I think a good many Christians do not know much about the Creation / Evolution debate beyond the buzzwords in the media. But it's pretty important to grasp what is at stake in the conversation.

Most atheists argue that most Christians choose to align themselves with the intelligent design/creation aspect without examining the data or considering any scientific observations.

But when prominent scientists like Dr. Collins offer their perspective validating the approach to hold up science WITH faith in affirming God's existence, it provides some reassurance to me.

Many if not most Christians know of the Creation vs. Evolution debate by buzzwords only. But it is important to understand.

I find these types of instances very interesting and encouaging. The atheists’ arguments are largely one that Christians on the creation side are ignorant and are not looking at evidence, scientific observation, etc. Christians are “blind” like an ostrich with its head in the sand.

But when scientisis, and especially prominent ones like Dr. Collins make their case, the accusations for false derivation of the “faith/religion” position kind of melt away.

Let me know what you think.
