Bertvan: Interesting. Not being a Christian, I have no beliefs I'm trying to make
compatible with science. However I do believe science should not be
incompatible with either theism or deism.

And if they are which one will have to give?

Bertvan: Science deals with mathematics, straight lines and perfect circles.

A strawman portrait of mathematics for sure.

Bertvan: Straight lines and perfect circles don't actually occur in nature, and I wonder if the relationship between nature and mathematics might also be approximate.

And the attack of the strawman.
