"All religion boils down to: "because I think so.""

Nonsense. Most of the greatest scientists the world has ever known believed in God and/or were Christian.

The inventor of modern science, and scientific process was Isaac Newton;

Sir Isaac Newton, -- "There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than any in profane history."

Would you care to argue the statement before you? Add another "begging the question" and 1/2 "Strawman" to the tote board.

Is there not a creationist among you that will discuss the topic at hand? That can answer a question directly? So far, I have zero.

Whether or not scientists are Christians (as am I) has as much to do with religious belief as my T-shirt does with the price of gold in Antartica.

C.S. Lewis made compelling arguments in Mere Christianity and The Reluctant Believer. They are great philisophical arguments. They are NOT scientific arguments.

My statement stands: All religion boils down to: "because I think so."
