* You should know that I am not discussing with you scientific views, but
trying to 'relativize' your 'absolutizing' scientific hypotheses and
theories with the help of scientists only. The authors of those theories
themselves admit that their theories are unable to account for all the
complexities of the Universe. But you claim to be an 'agnostic' and
'indifferent' regarding Religion, yet you are attacking Christian Religion
(and all 'beliefs') in the name of Science. That is the difference...
But in a secular forum religion and science have equal
value. Both are equally subject to criticism. There
should not be any double standard or special treatment
or exemptions when it comes to religion. Nonsense
cannot be allowed to be purveyed unchallenged in the
name of religion, just as nonsense cannot be allowed
to be propagated unquestioned in the name of science.
*Agreed. But precisely that is your problem. You cannot understand what is
"nonsense" in Religion because Science limits your knowledge of the
Universe and of Man...
