Up to the age of 13 or so, my intended vocation was to become a Lutheran Pastor.

I had a similar background. And up to about age 20 intended to become a Southern Baptist missionary. I even attended Oklahoma Baptist University for a bit.

When I was 10 or 11 I guess, I was such an incredible geek that instead of going out and playing sports with my friends I spent most of my time reading. (Except golf and baseball) At the time I was living with my grandparents who resided in a small town that did not receive TV broadcasts.

That time pretty much hooked me on science, mostly astronomy. Back in 1969 I did my main grade 8 literary assignment on quasars. The choices I gave myself were either that or Mars.

I've heard it said that if you want to lose your faith, just go to seminary!
