Pierce points to Gallop Polls conducted between 1982-2004, which consistentlyfound that 44 to 47 percent of Americans do not believe in evolution.

Instead,they believe that humans were "created by God pretty much in their presentform less than 10,000 years ago." Meanwhile, a recent survey of more than 400 university professors in Texas, alargely conservative state, found that nearly 90 percent believe modernevolutionary biology is largely correct Tegan and Sara . Pierce says there are four approaches to the conflict between science andreligion teegan and sara . The "Warfare Model" presumes that one side is right, the other sideis wrong, and the two are permanently conflicted tagan and sara .

For example, one student wrote a paper on thehealth effects of prayer and meditation and another student wrote a paper onthe genetics of spirituality."These students put into practice the notion that science and religion canindeed have something useful to say to each other," Pierce says.SOURCESouthwestern UniversityEllen Davis of Southwestern University, +1-512-863-1570 .
