I believe that science and faith can coexist because they have differing aims.
Science seeks to explain how objects in the physical universe react to each other, while faiths (and here I am referring to deity based faiths) intend to describe (or even proscribe) how we should behave within the universe.
For example, if I fire a gun at someone science will very accurately predict the trajectory of the bullet, it's momentum, the action and reaction (hence why the gun "kicks"), the effect of the bullet on human skin, the strength of human bone and how far the bullet will penetrate etc.
A faith will tell us if that particular behaviour is appropriate or not. Hopefully not!
In my opinion the difficulties occur when faiths attempt to describe how the universe works, and science tells us how to behave.
I suggest that for Mr & Mrs Average anywhere around 2 or 3 mp is more than adequate. However, if you decide that you want to have some of the images printed in large scale (10x8 or bigger) then those extra pixels will make a significant difference to the final print.
If you are using a digital camera for taking pictures to enter in competition then you can't have too many pixels.
I wonder at what point digital technology will allow the punter on the street to afford a higher resolution than that capable on traditional 'wet' film. As far as I know the technology still cannot get near the resolution of film, which is dictated by the size of the crystals.

Today I tried for a first post
Works every time if you use a pile driver ...
At that speed, they probably only come in red shift. Or blue shift. It depends on if you are reading or writing data ...
Unit for Cold anyone? ...
How about iJoules? You know, as in sqrt(-1) = i, so

Any pro photographers out there care to coment?

... will they crash more quickly or more often than mine does?
