And science hasn't been trying to undermine and destroy religious faith?
There are zealots on both sides...doesn't make either one right...

only if you are willing to accept the word of an admitted atheist who,
based on video interviews that I've seen of him, has made it his mission
in life to rid the world of religious faith...I have no problem with his
being an atheist but I do have a problem with him as a one-sided
researcher...re-read the post...neutrality is supposed to rule the day
in research, not agenda (from either side)...
btw...apparently you missed the asterisk comment....you seem to fit that
"extremist" category (as does Dawkins).
