Folks like us feel that indeed, there ought to be room for that, Michael. And while there are many harmless fundamental scriptural literalists who are content to let you live in peace in your ignorance, likewise there are hundreds of millions of scriptural literalists (of all stripe) who believe that if you don't believe as they do, you must be either converted- or destroyed as irredeemable and evil. Remember that to these people, all that mankind need know about the universe is already known. Speculation beyond what is written between the covers of the holy books is heresy requiring swift punishment. The Inquisition never went away. --- Michael Carnes <MichaelCarnes@earthlink.net> wrote:
The science is compelling and carries no other agenda than to force a deeper appreciation of the universe we live in. The attachment of that process to either a religious or non-religious world view is a deeply personal choice. There ought to be plenty of room in the world for that.
