I really love it when "Christians" get on their soapbox and rant that they are supreme in their knowledge and relationship with God. They seem to lose the meaning of "humbleness".

OWF never made that claim. You are seeing things that are not there which, I thought, the FR scientific types are not supposed to do. The word, btw, is humility.

The word is also humbleness.

Thank you, Dataman.

You correctly pointed out the misinterpretation of my words.

The irony is that, as a Christian, I believe that we are all sinners........equally guilty, none better than the other, and certainly not I........and none of us can with our own efforts, or intellect understand who God is or how magnificent is his creation.

It is not out of ego or arrogance that I want people to know about God. It is out of the extreme humility of a sinner saved by grace.

But once again, the topic goes off the issue, and onto the persons engaged in the discussion.

It's a common tactic here, and I'm sorry I digressed and fell into the trap.

Wild Turkey has still not given an answer to the question, what EVIDENCE do you have that the scientist in question (who posesses TWO doctorates in evolutionary biology) was engaged in ' religious propaganda,' and not actual scientific research?

Please give proof of your accusation.
