I've always wondered what belief in God or lack thereof has to do with 
science and technology.

Most Christians do not have a problem with evolution.  (Most does not seem
to include Bruce Calder, and David Mielke, however.)  If you pop over to
talk.origins, you will find a significant number of Christians defending
the theory of evolution, and a significant number of atheists and/or agnostics
opposed to the idea that science disproves God.

I tell my children that God created the universe, but *how* the universe came
to be is described by science.
