Thank you. And just to be clear this is the same exact stance I have toward evolution, or any other belief. Everyone is a free moral agent and can make those decisions for themselves. I've never felt compelled to force my beliefs on anyone. Do I share them, yes. But that's different than trying to force someone to believe what I believe.

And yet you continue to insist that science is a belief system as is religion.
Is it all science that you relegate to a belief system, or just the ones that support biological evolution?
If medical science is a belief system aren't you just as well off sitting at home with a broken leg and praying over it as you are visiting an emergency room? If a loved one contracts a life threatening illness are you simply going to pray for divine intervention?
Do you believe that computer scientists prayed over a block of silicon to receive enlightenment regarding computational complexity theory? Or is it more reasonable to assume that they arrived at a theory using the tools of science?
It exasperates me to no end that a person will decry evolutionary theory one moment and the next show up for an injection to protect themselves from the latest evolutionary form of a flu virus.
"All science is solid except for that evolutionary science stuff. That's just voodoo."
