I grew up in the Episcopal Church, and the Episcopal Church accepts science as fact, claiming only that God was the author of Nature no matter what we discover about Nature. Most MAJOR Christian sects (other than, say, the Baptists) do no claim that science is wrong, but that science only reveals God's genius and his plan. (I think it's revisionist BS, but that is what most Christian sects say about science.)

Wow, that does sound interesting. I am not at all familiar with the Episcopal Church. I haven't seen this line of thought in the ever prevelant 'Fundamental' Christian groups out there. So I'll have to plead ignorance here...lol. But I'd be interested to hear more about the relationship between the Major Christan sects you speak of and nature/science.
Have a safe trip to Vegas!
