[Scully]

For the record, I was raised in a fundamental Christian home to believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible, including the creation-myth. I am not a theologian by any stretch, but I have read the entire Bible several times. I am now an agnostic.

I am also a geologist/geochemist and was fortunate enough to have had as a mentor a very fine Christian geology professor who believed that evolution was the mechanism God chose to create the Universe and all life within.

My personal belief is that if God did create the Universe, then He necessarily must follow the very laws He created, thus I believe evolution to be the best model we have to date of the origins of life.

I also believe we are not the only other life that exists in the Universe.

Anything else you would care to know about me?
