But Gwai, it doesn't seem to bother you as much that religious folk differ on various doctrinal points. You don't take that as evidence that God doesn't exist.

It's a distrust of science per se that exists among many religious believers.

And really, I get tired of 'debate' that takes all its cues from nonsense like this : http://www.dare2share.org/devotions/...the-zoo-to-you

The idea is, Lie, and keep it up...you can shout people down.

Real discussion, and all science, depends on a clear pattern to evaluate things. Sometimes people do a much smaller question than the one that hits a newspaper. But science makes progress.

I think good religion makes progress, too.
