I joined this list as I was interested in the Theory of Everything. I found Bruno's comp interesting. I didn't participate actively for quite sometime though. Later, when I did start participating and as discussions continued, I suggested that Quran is one scripture where one can also look for clues about creation. However, one conversation led to another and now any input from me is taken as a 'conversion to Islam' attempt. For example, this very thread on methane could have evolved as an academic discussion, yet it directly got connected with my other posts. I don't mind answering questions and sharing knowledge about my faith, but sometimes I do wish we could have some scientific discussion instead of shooting down anything I share or comment upon. Never mind. Maybe it was meant to be this way.
