Larry: And you blew right past the part where I said “spiritual” and not “religious”. I made a clear distinction between the two.
I also did not conflate science with religion, nor did I conflate science with spirituality, I simply said that the two could not only co-exist, but could be mutually supportive.
And, no, I don’t worship rocks or the face of the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich. That is more of the same nonsense that I pointed out when I said I found it highly insulting that any person of faith or spirituality is simply considered an idiot and incapable of higher brain function.
You mention the Fra Mendel, and then turn right around and proceed to heap scorn on those that have faith or profess to spirituality. What gives?
