Quote:If you present both ID and Evolution together, Evolution should win hands down, shouldn't it? Evolution doesn't deal with cosmology, so you could believe in both God and evolution, am I right? So, given that, isn't is reasonable to say that theology and science intersect at some point for many people? Maybe the goal here shouldn't be to tell people what to believe but instead to present ideas and let people make up their own minds. Evolution is pretty settled science to me but the big bang is much less so, and even the big bang theory doesn't do anything to disprove God; it just explains the expansion of the universe, not the why. 

 

Gender is not fluid. Sex is biological. 

 

Your first question, yes you could. I certainly do. 

 

Theology and science can intersect. Also true, and for many people.

 

But religion is still not science. There is evidence of a "big bang" studying cosmic inflation and the redshifting of distant stars. Lectures or discussions on the intersectionality of religion and science should be in a forum designed to handle this....such as a philosphy class. 

 

The Big Bang does not prove or disprove the existence of God. That is why open-minded skeptics are usually agnostic, and not athiest. 

 

Gender is fluid. Society dictates gender roles. There is no biological mechanism that pre-determines that a woman should cook, clean, wear dainty dresses and wash dishes; just as there are none that pre-determines that a man must like the color "blue" or grill red meat on Saturdays. Society precribes what is appropiate for men and women (our sexes) from the time we are born. Society runs into problems when individuals either display intersex characteristics or they don't fit into our narrowly defined views on gender. Try going to work wearing a dress. When someone asks you why you are wearing a dress, think carefully. Who decided it was inappropiate for a man to wear a dress? Biology didn't, that's for sure.
