Evolution
In the Asma reading, I thought interesting points were brought up about evolution in the context of the museum. Evolution is constructed differently depending on the museum and its location. The scientific community is largely uninterested in presenting an argument or explanation for creationism as the concept is an unrelated discourse. Creationism is an absolute (with no way to be proven or unproven), whereas scientific theory is open to debate and reflection. Science has morphed into a discipline devoid of religion. The two practices are thought of as incompatible though historically the two work side-by-side. Science and theology both answer questions, but the answers are gathered extremely differently. Under the current heated climate of science and religion, I doubt the two will rekindle their romance. I am under the modern perspective that the differences between the two communities are too extreme to be reunited.
