The only reason I brought up religious beliefs is because for some strange and magical reason you won't call to task LeGrande on his false scientific claims -- and I can't figure out any reason that you won't take a stand against LeGrande's obvious lie -- except that maybe it's because you and he belong to the same religion and therefore won't call to task a "Brother in the faith" or whatever you want to call it. But if I'm wrong, by all means tell me why you won't take a stand against a lie!

I won't join you because I simply don't think it's worth the animosity.

Why is it the only reason you think two people can simply agree to disagree, and part company amicably on an issue can only mean there is some tacit religiously motivated conspiracy against you involved?

Huh? In other words you wouldn't confront somebody for lying and teaching untruth because they might have animosity against you for it? Like I said, it is no wonder science education is in such shambles - everybody knows the students are being lied to and nobody says a thing because they don't want to cause discord.

Agree to disagree on a scientific fact? Very sad that truth means so little. Like I said, this is the problem.
