For mainstream science and mainstream religion , I suppose it is down to who and what you put your faith in eg Darwin and his written word and the theory that has developed, or Gods words through people on Earth, and to me it seems a fine line between which to decide if you were trying to find the truth.
Take the languages of today for instance do you accept that they have evolved from another earlier language or the "babel story", that once there was one world culture but was then split via language (the Vedas also claim there was one world culture), looking at it from the vedic point it would be as if the written transkrit has deteriated over time and we are left with the modern languages, from the biblical view it would appear that the spoken languages are seperate but have adapted/changed.over time The same could be said for biological evolution theory compared to what is said in Vedas, that there are many seperate species.
So basically science=very intricate and educated guess versus eyewitness acounts from scripture.
if you were truly neutral how would you choose, or would you somehow combine the two?
