Strange, that. All science has done is give me a true appreciation (and respect!) for the abilities of the Creator.

I'm not making myself clear - I agree with you. I do not agree with the folks who equate science with atheism, and scientists with hell-bound unbelievers. Nor do I agree with atheists who equate faith with Luddism or ignorance, and believers as anti-science. Both views exist at the extremes.

On the faithful side, I think such anti-science views, when expressed as vociferously as they can be, only manage to give the impression that if you study the natural world and draw a certain conclusion, you cannot believe in God. This puts that person's soul at risk! And as we are taught, doing something that leads another soul astray imperils our soul as well.
