*“Christianity does not posit an inevitable conflict between supernatural faith and scientific progress,” *
Can’t be said often enough. The enemies of the faith claim it does. Dishonestly so in my opinion. I have some experience in this as I was raised a liberal protestant and was taught it as a matter of fact. Something one didn’t even need to discuss. Of course Catholicism and every other form of Protestantism but the one I was raised in was diametrically opposed to reason and science.
Been lots of fun, but a little depressing, to read history and find out how wrong that was. Had an innate knowledge from the start it was wrong. Only since the net have I been able to find out, in great detail, how wrong it was.
