wow – what a story
I dont find anything confusing or non-reconcileable with science and faith. I believe in science and I also have my faith.
Maybe Jerry Coyne means that science and orthodox catholicism, or science and some scriptures cannot meet.
In fact a person can throw the whole bible into the fireplace and it wont make him an atheist. Unless he has lost faith in a creator of the cosmos and the universe.
