"It's funny how nearly all the fathers of the (modern) scientific revolution shared all of the faith commitments, as Christians, that you deem so terribly unscientific."

And where they differed from yourself and others is in their willingness to follow the evidence wherever it lead.

First, I just found out my Mom's cancer may have taken a turn for the worse, so I probably won't be able to keep up with this thread. Don't assume anything from silence.

Second, I can't tell if this is supposed to be a serious point or just a snotty little jibe, but the original point was that you were arguing that there is a huge chasm between Christianity and "science", and I pointed out that all of modern science is built on the foundations of work done by Christians with all of the same faith commitments you so despise and demonize, and in many cases as a conscious outworking of those faith commitments.

They followed the science where it lead, as do we, which is back to worship of the Creator. Darwinistas are the ones imposing their ideology on the evidence. That's just simple history. You have always assumed your ultimate conclusion.

Anyway, if you guys are so committed to teaching children the truth undiluted by biased, unscientific agendas, how come they never get taught this fact about modern science's foundations in Christianity???? Dohh!!!

It puts you in an absurd position to say that science is completely separate from religion/Christianity when it's actually (historically and philosophically) founded on it. It amazes me that you can say that with a straight face, but if that's what your religion demands, so be it.

As an aside, I've never met any Christians more fanatical, dogmatic, or zealous than devout Darwinists. Riddle me that.
