@ IrishLake: I am Team German Shepherd.
My memory fails but in which century did scientists begin studying human evolution beyond primates millions of years ago? I recall some people do not believe the earth is millions of years old. I also remember dispute over movies that depicted humans as existing at the same time as dinosaurs.

I personally think the problem isn't with god versus science which is not necessarily contradictory

I think a lot of people don't believe as we believe.
A lot of people around the world believe that God exists but science doesn't (which is one reason why evolution is disputed in some K-12 schools); or that science exists but God doesn't (including but not limited to atheists, some of whom believe only dumb idiots credit deities for things proven by science).

What is "common sense"?
