The whole debate over creationism vs. evolution has always kind of bugged me. In my mind, science and religion ask two different questions - science asks "how?", religion asks "why?". Science is based on repeatable observations, religion is based on "the evidence of things not seen".
I believe that God created man - whether He did so by guiding a natural process or by the snap of a divine finger is irrelevant to me. I also believe that He created me with a brain for a reason - He expects me to use it to try to understand His creation as well as I'm able to.
In the end I think that science and religion will intersect, as they are both searching for truth. In the meantime I don't think it's useful to argue over which is "right", they're not incompatible.
