I'm sorry, But I disagree with the second half of that entirely. I don't think palaeontologists, as palaeontologists, should get involved with showing how evolution is compatible (or not, as the case may be) with religion. All we need to do is show that evolution is proven by the fossil record. Explaining how evolution is compatible with religion, whether Christian, Islam, Hindu, etc., or one of the fundamentalist-frothing-at-the-mouth-ones or whatever is **entirely** up to the religion to explain. It's nothing to do with palaeontology. If palaeontologists want to get involved with that side as members of a particular religion, that's entirely up to the individual. But palaeontology, or any other science, has NO explaining to do on that count at all.
