"I'm a card-carrying Baptist. I believe God created the universe and for all I know . . ."You have just set forth an example of a Bible believing Christian who can perfectly well engage in scientific learning and discussion. I wonder how well such a declaration on Howard Georgi's part would hold up in most universities today. A good many evolutionists would dismiss him out of hand just because he is a creationist.

You deleted half of his comment!!
"Look, I'm a card-carrying Baptist. I believe God created the universe and for all I know [mind you, this is one of the world's best particle physicists] particles may well have karma. But there's nothing I can say about it as a physicist. There's no 'Physics of Religion' course anyone on this campus can teach. And I'm sure there are more learned Baptists than me. So if you want a discussion with a learned physicist, I'm your guy. But if you want to discuss religion, I respectfully suggest you leave."

That above is the biggest load of crap. So what if he believes in creationism? As a scientist this does not stop him from looking at the universe in a scientific fashion. You will not see him create a SCIENTIFIC theory that says "godidit". If he did, Then he would be laughed and ridiculed. Because he keeps his science and his religion SEPARATE he is not going to be ridiculed.
THere is NO reason that a scientist cannot look at evolution and say scientific, yet believe in creationism, and say religious. I have known and do know many Scientists that are christian, Jewish etc, who believe religiously creationism, yet study and believe in the science of evolution.
I am so tired of your incessant, creationism/ID is science, when it is OBVIOUS that it is NOT. Can you find some other reasoning, because this one is showing that you are A: too stupid to understand the point we are making, or B: too bullheadedly fanatical to want to.
Either way, it is getting rather irritating reading you make the same points over and over and over again.
Yes, a SCIENTIST can believe in creationism, and YES he can Study and believe in evolution, but if he mixes the 2 in a scientific aspect, then he WILL be ridiculed.
OK? Are we done? can we move on now?
Damn!!
