Read the following passage below and answer 20-24 that follow.
The premise behind the question seems to be that if one does not unhesitatingly assert belief in evolution, then one must necessarily believe that God created the world and everything in it 24-hour days. But limiting this question to a stark choice between evolution and creationism does a disservice to the complexity of the interaction between science, faith and reason. the heart of the issue is that we cannot drive a wedge between faith and reason. I believe that wholeheartedly that there cannot be any contradiction the two. the scientific method, base on reason seeks to discover truths about the nature of the created order and how it operates, whereas faith deals with spiritual truth. The truths of science and faith are complementary: they deal with very different questions, but they do not contradict each other because the spiritual order and the material order was created by the same God. People of faith should be rational using the gift of reason that God has given us. at the same time, reason itself cannot answer every question. Faith seeks to purify reason so that we might be able to see more clearly, not less. Faith supplements the scientific method by providing and understanding of values, meaning and purpose. More than that,faith - not - science can help us understand the breadth of human suffering or the depth of human love. Faith and science should go together, not driven apart. The question of evolution goes to the heart of the tissue.If belief in evolution means assenting to microevolution, small changes overtime within a species, I am happy to say, as I have in the past, that I believe it to be true. If on the other hand, it means assenting to an exclusively materialistic, deterministic vision of the world that holds no place for guiding intelligence, then I reject it.
