let's leave that for a religious forum, not here, ok.?

It's a very sensative subject and not everybody, to inlcude me, totally supports it. This is not a website to discuss philosophy or religion.

well, it's not particularly about philosophy or religion, but there's nothing stopping us discussing it. That's what The Meeting Spot is for.

I don't know how many would be interested though. Personally, I have my own views on Science and religion, but I suspect most people wouldn't like them. lmao.

I rather do suspect that the original question here has been well answered though.

Well we were talking about a scientific experiment that is ongoing. The problem when you mix religion is that most people have different views on it and it is a matter a faith, not fact. Now it's great when one can gather some emperical evidence to support your faith, the fact of the matter remains, it is faith and religion cannot be "proven", one has to believe it.

And yes, both can be very compatibable at times, at other times they are not. I don't think religion is a good sbject to discuss on a website that promotes computer science. First, there's the old addage: Politics and religion a friend does not make.

second, this isn't really a site for it, and offending people for whatever reason would turn them away from the computer hobby we all enjoy here.
