Group 3 describes me to a T as far as my believes. Beginning of science was based upon nature. Nature was a creation by God. The universe as we talk about in science is of God’s making . I have a very good knowledge about science as well as the Bible and feel that they go hand-in-hand

The 3 groups are almost precise categories, I think I fall under the second category. I'm a believer, so the origin of the world and events that play out are scriptural to me but i don't despise science either. I am of the opinion that science rather proves biblical teaching. I am not close minded, I try to inculcate both aspects. I can't really think of another group to add, I believe these 3 do justice

Frankly speaking, I believe that I'm divided. There's a side of science that I believe as well as God side. Therefore, I cannot peak just one side because in both assumptions there blind spots.

It a trick to pick but for me I believe in both God and science. This is because some things science cannot explain and we just have to go with what we are told in the Bible. On some other topics, I believe in science bacause it has shown us factual evidence.

I feel like we're diverting out the book. When someone tries to validate the Bible based on science or vice versa, we extend the already existing conflict of interest between the two. In my opinion, I cannot choose between the Bible and science, because both come in handy in different ways.

I am in the group that thinks it's okay to admit about not knowing because I wasn't actually there at the beginning and men can say anything. In fact, science has been proven wrong several times with new discoveries. And I've never actually seen God before.

I have a B.S. in Biology so, I would classify myself as very scientifically educated. However, there was something one of my professors (who was of the Jewish faith) said about the controversy of science & religion. She said, "You can believe in God and still be a scientist. If you look at the intricacy of procreation, how detailed and precise the very act of cellular division is, how precarious it is ensuring the process is done correctly, and see how that happens so flawlessly time and time again. You will be in awe of your creator." Which I took as meaning, if you believe in God and see how immense and detailed and fragile Earth and its beings are, you can appreciate the work he has done.

I would be in group 2 ,because if we are a religious we need to have hope in god. To prove that about a religion to common people they also need to beleive god and they ask some scientific questions. So we also need some scientific knowledge to prove some things about our religion scientifically.

I think that this assertion is right. I certainly find myself situated somewhere in the spectrum of #3, I believe that the Bible contains so many important details that were once believed to be myths or simple stories but that on recent times Science and History have prove to be true.

do we have to argue on this topic? Why can't we just accept the universe as it is? The universe, its nice and amazing... can't we just appreciate that?

I belong to the second group that believes in God and creation. Science works a lot with tangibles, if something cannot be proven therefore it doesn't exist. Where I'm from, it is common knowledge that witches fly around in winnows, this is not scientifically proven but it doesn't negate it's existence. We should allow science the benefit of "still discovering",on the other hand, creation is a finished job.

I will be in group three. I've always questioned myself on where my loyalties lie. I've openly admired the idea of God and the intricacies of how a universal force created everything that came to be. I have also been amazed by science and the unanswered questions it leaves in my mind. It's my belief that both of these go hand in hand. None of these two can solve the mystery of creation and life completely. I think the beauty lies in accepting we can never comprehend this world,by either of these means.

I find myself agreeing with this. It's difficult for me to reconcile with religion - Science has uncovered, and explained, a lot of things that religion has not - but, it doesn't mean that we have all the answers. Honestly, I think that there's a lot more that we don't know, than what we do know, and some of it may simply be beyond our grasp as human beings. Jostein Gaarder wrote in Sophie's World: "If the human brain was simple enough for us to understand, we would still be so stupid that we couldn't understand it." This is one example of things that we just might never grasp, simply because we aren't able to.

While I'm not a believer of the Bible specifically, I am religious so I would being to the first category for my religion

And yes I think there can be many groups of thoughts based on this subject.
