Did you know that the Big Bang theory was actually introduced by a Catholic Priest named George LeMaitre in 1927? He was trying to show that Science and Religion (at least physics) do not have to be incompatible, but rather they complement each other.
"In 1929 at the Mt. Wilson Observatory in California, Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies were moving away at high speeds. He was, like most people, unaware of LeMaitre's 1927 theory. But LeMaitre used Hubble's dramatic discovery as evidence for his theory. It was easy. If you imagined the galaxies rushing away from us as a movie, just run the movie backwards. After a certain time, all those galaxies will rush together. LeMaitre put forth the idea that there was once a primordial atom which had contained all the matter in the universe."
yea I found that today on the net. Of course, the web isn't known exactly for accuracy, but I've heard about Hubble and the galaxies thing. So the rest makes sense.
But I'm wondering, how the heck does this fit in with Genesis? I totally agree that like physics works with Christianity. It's like Galileo said, that everything was created with order and symmetry. Heaven/Hell, Light/Dark. But seriously.
Science and Religion are not at odds, Science is simply to young to understand.

it doesn't. just like how evolution is supposed to fit in with religion. it doesn't... not all scientific theories are compatible with Christianity.
yea i got it now. i'm at z's, and we were talking about it. he said it was that catholics were trying to assimilate science into their stuff in the early 20th century because evolution seemed pretty fool proof before they found the gaps in like the 60s.
anyway, i have been stuck here since last night. but it's all good. no school tomorrow! oh have to go, kaitlyn wants to know what I mean by stuck here... ouch! she's abusing me again! i am not getting paid enough for being her friend! theresa! lol
