Armando's Stance on Evolution

hey everybody!  I was unable to include the entirety of Armando's (a freshman involved in Campus Crusade for Christ at Dominican) response to my questioning him about his beliefs about evolution, so here is his comment.

I am not entirely sure about how I feel about the subject of evolution.  I used to be staunchly against Darwin's theory because I thought that it was opposed to my religious beliefs.  The Bible says that God created man in His image and the world in seven days.  Darwin's theory says that man evolved from ape (as far as I know).  They have to be opposed to each other, right?

Wrong.

Three years ago, when the LORD opened my eyes to the truth and I began this walk with Him, I began to see the world differently.  I began to question the things that I had been taught, including the idea that science and religion can never coexist.  Now I realize that that idea makes no sense.  If God created everything, then He must have created Science as well.  There are some areas where Science should not wander, but in regards to evolution, I believe that Science and Religion are not in opposition.  Evolution does not deny the fact that God created man.  In my opinion, it does not matter how man came to be.  The point is that it came about by the hand of God.

In light of my beliefs, I do not see why evolution should not be taught at Dominican.  If it is taught, however, it should not promote the idea that Religion and Science are at odds.  It should be taught in a way that shows that it coexists with the Bible's teachings.
