[QUOTE="Jones, post: 399857, member: 4805"] I would disagree. Religion requires faith in the supernatural, whereas science looks for natural, humanly measurable and testable ways to explain things. There may be a certain amount of faith required in that, ie, faith that your testing methods are transparent and replicable, and faith in the process of peer review as a check, but that's clearly not in the same ballpark as believing that there is a supernatural being who controls everything. That's the big difference between between creationism and evolutionary theory. Creationism is not science because it relies on a supernatural explanation without which it doesn't work. You personally may not agree with evolutionary theory, but it doesn't require a belief in the supernatural to make it work. [/QUOTE]
