It is gratifying that so many religious people take an interest in science.

Now if only they would learn something about it...

But that may be asking too much, as Heinlein so eloquently phrased it:


Belief gets in the way of learning.

Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love, 1973

Indeed the religious people that deny God despite all the evidence are ruining it for everyone.

As I pointed out, socio-pathological cultists have hijacked evolution to the point no one recognizes it anymore, including above all themselves.

I like Robert Heinlein. His book “Stranger In A Strange Land” is one of my favorite books.

Perhaps you should open up enough to hear higher teachings before this span time runs out.

It depends on if what you are believing is true or not. If creation by The Creator is true than it is not believing this that would get in the way of learning, which it does, by the way.
