Why can't creation and evolution be linked. Why can they not be a
part of the same thing. Sure - there was Gods creation in the
beginning in which the seeds of life were laid down, which over
billions of years evolved to best adapt to there surroundings. How
do we know this was not God's plan? Because the man who wrote the
book of Genesis, who did not have the ability to understand what we
know today, says it is so?

If you want to believe that, that go ahead. But understand that it is
not science.

Of course it is not science. It is called religion. But faith can be
compatible with science as a very large number of Jewish and Christian
and Muslim scientists can attest.



Is their faith compatible, or are they just succesfully
compartmentalizing their science and their faith in different mental
containers?

As far as I am aware, those religious scientists do not consider their
belief system while running and analysing experiments. Of course I could
be quite wrong in this.
