Reconciling science and faith

I was browsing through the National Academies website which contains various articles, reviews and reports discussing views, points, facts and opinions about the Theory of Evolution. I have found this roundtable discussion about Science and Faith, the panelists are Francisco Ayala, a professor of biological sciences and of philosophy at the University of California, Irvine;Mark Noll, a professor of Christian thought in the History Department at Wheaton College, Illinois and the author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind (1995) and of A History of Christianity in the United States and Canada (1994); Arthur Peacocke, a physical biochemist and Anglican priest who pioneered early research into the physical chemistry of DNA and has since become a leading advocate for the creative interaction between faith and science; and Robert Pollack, a professor of biological sciences, lecturer in psychiatry at the Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, and director of the Center for the Study of Science and Religion at Columbia University and the author of The Faith of Biology and the Biology of Faith (2000). These panelists have gathered to answer and discuss the question, "How can you reconcile the difference between evolution and religion?".
