How did I get in Your cat fight?

Your pardon, Big Red Badger. I "used" your posting to illustrate my point to daniel1212. Perhaps that was a breach of etiquette.

My point - and, yes: perhaps it is my pet peeve - is that it is intellectually dangerous to adopt the mindset of "Oh, here's a poorly-written and biased article written by some hack with a hidden agenda, citing some other article, about some scientific "discovery" that supposedly bolsters the Bible."

It fosters the mindset of "The Bible needs bolstering." And this same tactic can also be used to attack faith, by digging up some factoid that apparently disproves the Bible. If you accept the support, you must also accept the undermining, if you wish to remain intellectually honest and consistent.

Lastly - and I hesitate to say this because some of you might take offense - I sincerely doubt that anyone here is truly capable of understanding the actual science here and especially perceiving its irrelevancy.

Regards,
