Most people are so closed minded when it comes to the Religion/Science matter that they can't even see straight. But I am one of the few people who have actualy stoped to take the time to think it over while putting aside my beliefs and disbeliefs.
I belive that God created the world in 7 days her time and not 7 Earth days. Keep in mind that to God time doesn't matter and that it does not exist to her! So to God 7 days can be how ever the H. E. double hocky sticks long she wants it to be! Also since God created the animals and since her time is not eqivelant to our time she must have made them evolve from one stage to the next. I am not a Theologian nor am I a Scientist I am an Alchemist which I define as one whom transmutes three paths into one. I am an Artist, Sceintist, and Theologian all rolled up in one big package and like all the great men before me I shall aspire to change the world. As for the saying "Men shouldn't play God." Well God "created man in his image", in his image we were created with freewill and with the ability to reason and create. Hence forth I say that the reason God created Science was so that men could make use of it and of their abilities to reason and invent.
Welcome to the forum! I am not a "creationist", nor a scientist. Creationism doesn't "gel" with me; but I see no reason not to believe in God, without there being "a conflict of interests" believing in science. maybe you are trying too hard to make the jigsaw puzzle click into place............
