when you approach a scientific question , do you conclude that what the empirical evidence demonstrates is most likely true , or do you take the view that if the evidence disagrees with what your religion says then the evidence , or the interpretation of it , must be wrong ? Either the science behind the evidence , or the interpretation behind the religion , is wrong . Or it could be both . Has your study of evolution helped you establish at what point in human evolution the soul first appeared ? It has not . Do you think that Intelligent Design is science ? I heard of it , but never really studied it , so I don ' t know . But I would not expect religious faith to be a good approach to scientific investigation . I have faith in a rational God who makes rational humans and purposefully made the universe to be rational and understandable by humans , and gave humans the imperative to understand it .
