vedic musings

Science debunks creation, so does Vedanta, but is there any conflict between Vedanta & Science? First lets understand why Science debunks Creator & creation. Now since I'm no Science nerd I'm just basing this on what I read on the subject matter so don't blame me if I'm wrong. First, the believers in "Creator" will have first to make up their mind whether this so called Creator (God/Allah) lives within or outside the purview of this Universe.
