But when I got to the part where they explain why they use the word "Science", thats when I disconnected. I don't mean this as any kind of insult to anyone, but in my opinion Christ was no scientist, and neither were most of the people on the planet at the time. My definition of Science is the use of LOGIC and detailed analysis and experimentation to find answers to problems and create new ways of doing things. And in my opinion Religion in general and Jesus Christ himself did not use Logic very much, and when they did it was only very superficial. I cannot accept the idea of Jesus Christ being a scientist and I cannot accept the definition of Science that was given on that site, which is the strict application of a set of rules, or laws. Anyone can make rules or laws and enforce them, but that doesn't mean it is a logical or analytical process. I'm a very analytical person, and even though I strugle with an emotional handicap, I adhere to logic because it is the only thing that keeps me sane. If something doesn't make sense to ME, I can't work with it. I have to either try over and over again to find a way to MAKE it make sense, or abandon it completely. Again, I don't mean this as an insult to anyone, just my personal reaction to two of the things that are most important in my life, religion and logic. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
