As I have joined the geology department I have heard quite a few people talk about how the age of the earth is controversial among some religious individuals, as in the age was built in literally seven days (or at most 7000 years).
When I was studying anthropology evolution came up several times. Did humans really evolve from apes (usually I say monkeys because it sounds better even though it is not accurate)?
Neither of these topics really seemed like a big issue to me. I believe in an old earth and that evolution takes place and even though I don't know how human evolution worked I know we are literally children of God. Although I do have my opinions I certainly don't doubt the compatibility of science and religion.
The part I think is funny though is how I seem to pick the controversial majors, and I don't even notice it until I am in it. Who knew I was such a radical thinker :).
