It would seem to me that we should look at the underlying problem so obvious in this discussion. Generally speaking, those individuals with strong faith in"God", will have to ignore much of the theory worked up by science. If not they would have to accept the destruction of said faith under the scrutiny of the data. whereas, those of a more analitical nature would never be able to accept the faith based arguments due to the very nature of blind faith.Although this is indeed an interesting thread due to the opinionated replys it will inevitably create, it is also impossible to resolve the differences without resorting to the religious tactic of converting each other.As a debate it may be entertaining(and I realize that is the intent) but, the phylisophical value is limited to endless bickering and dogma recital.Obviously this "god" is either far to smart to show itself to such a violent creature as mankind, or could simply care less, as it rarely has an impact on the 25% of us bright enough to truly understand what it could mean.
