Note the typical god botherer technique of not telling the entire truth. Newologist attempted to enter the anti-evolution lists earlier, with comments originally addressed by Rosborne, which Newy did not adequately address. Of course, anyone who routinely deals with god botherers quickly learns that honesty is not a commonly observed character trait among them.

@Setanta,
This seems really important to you.
That's a good sign, I believe.

You're addicted to the moving target technique. Now you want to try psychobabble.

You also provided your conflation of their various definitions in your word salad interpretation of 2 Corinthians 4:4.

Any religion has to adapt and evolve with the science and knowledge of the times...

Religion must remain subjective and not try to become objective; that's the realm of science.
Notice any contradiction there?

A belief in God for whatever reason, has no need to support or contradict science. Nor does science have any reason to do the same with God.

Tell that to the "believers"

Agreed, but for a different reason than "equivalence of respect". SCience , real science, should only deal in facts.

But there are some that have courses in paranormal research and the like. Academia has it's own supernatural hangups. They are ok with that as long as it doesn't smell like religion.

If you define what you mean by "GOD" then I would be able to answer you.

It's of no help in explaining abiogenesis. Even if you have all the right conditions and constants, there is nothing that says life must emerge.

@farmerman,
But don't you find the great number of religious universities a contradiction?
I wonder how they handle the subject of "Logic?"

What's with all this "must" Mr. Strawman (I know straw can get kind'a musty but...)?

@Chumly,
And at the risk of talking to myself (well I am my own best company so perhaps all is not entirely lost) I do hope the separation of churlish and steak is not simply a canard, or a lame duck; albeit the flames of hellfire would provide for a tasty roast and/or eternal reprimand.
