RE: How can we link science to religion?

I agree with the principles of natural selection. Whether they are enough to create macro-evolution of organs and appendages is actually up for debate and not proven.

I think that I mainly just took exception to the

Neutral mutations may well be improving our genome. Definitely not eroding.

Comment since it assumes that conserved mutations are only going to be positive. And then by your definition are no longer neutral genetic drift rather positive mutations so you can't say that genetic drift is positive.

Hence, natural selection would (in a great enough generation span) take care of it. In the end it's a numbers game influenced by factors we don't clearly understand, yet.

Just curious if you recognize the faith aspect of natural selection that you hold there?
