To me, the so-called "conflict" between faith and science is bogus. The God in whom I have faith is the Father of science. Science is simply the process of exploring and trying to understand His world. So-called "conservatives" interpret the Biblical mandate to man/woman that they exercise stewardship over the Earth as exploiting it. I do not accept this. We are responsible for preserving the Earth and caring for it, and the technology and intellectual abilities that God has allowed us to evolve (yes, He understands X-rays) are to be used in accordance with His laws, not ours. The tragedy in the Gulf was brought about by poor stewardship, greed, arrogance, and really, really bad "science". The only remedy for it is better use of the intelligence and creativity God has granted us. He does not take "sides"; we should seek to be on His.
