Do you believe in God?

While I cannot direct the course of discussion, my opinion is also that it would be nice to discuss the whys of folks' godish beliefs, the nature of them, how they arose, what experiences reinforce them or challenge them, etc. ... and to have less of the anti-god stance of science that has been presented so exhaustively and eloquently.



just a suggestion.

Understood, and suggestion taken. I'm not here to berate anyone, and I am certainly "pro science", if you want to take that as a position. I find it difficult to stand by when people mis-cite findings, are factually incorrect regarding biology, or misquote Einstein, which are specifics, not a particular belief. I'd say, as a matter of belief, that each person is entitled to his opinion, but if they try to justify it using science, or something that is subject to a specific test of science (which is, by definition, then not faith), then they expose themselves to the results of that specific test, embarassing or not.
