The book's main purpose was to relate the secular ideology of the Bible with science. The book was able to do it very effectively. I even believe that the earth will be destroyed in 2150. I mean the resurrection will happen. I'm completely satisfied with author explanation of time zone and relation between the Bible and science.

Exactly my thoughts

I won't take any side on this. But I believe that there is certainly a link between the both.

I believe in creation. This two aspects are not alike in any way. The book does a good job of separating this two aspects. Their teachings do not coexist. Although the book lies more on the biblical side.

the two sides are needed to have all round view of such difficult concept of life. So I believe that the two side can coexist.

You just said my mind. I could not agree less. At the end these three may not be that complex. More work should be done to balance them.

Secular means worldly, and I think Science falls in that category. The two can, therefore, coexit quite well a demonstrated by the author.

I admire the author's efforts, but the book didn't do enough to win me over. I believe God created the world.

I accept creationism. I believe that both sides are complementary. I believe that God supernaturally created everything, hence any scientific analysis of the available evidence might be correct.

I believe that they both complement each other. Some facts in the Bible seem the same like that of science.

I think I would go with scientific. Can the two go together is a yes. The deal is there are people who work on this that believes. They have their own feelings on it but they still work on the scientific approach. One thing is the fact that nothing is wrong in being curious about either side of them.
