I thought we were told to take this conversation off-line? In any case, your
comments show gross oversimplification, misunderstandings, and laughable
ignorance. Read Levitt and Gross and get straightened out. BTW, I have a
religion, but it has been informed by science. In other words, it takes into
consideration the vastness of the universe in time and space that science
has discovered: the fact that we are not in the center of the universe,
either figuratively or literally, and that the universe is probably teaming
with intelligent species far more advanced than ourselves (even though we
don't have any direct physical evidence, it is simply anthropomorphic to
think otherwise, in view of the universal sway of the laws of nature). But
science is not my God. I would be happy to discuss this with you further,
but not on this list. I'm sure everyone else is bored silly by our remarks.
