Religion has not value in the science realm. Religion is based on faith, and the absolute value of it is the corner stone of any religion. Science on the other hand makes no attempt to apply faith to any of its certainties, or lack of it for that matter. Please leave it at that, don't pursue this issue any longer. I realize this topic is important to you, but it is taking space in a mail group that does not deal with that area of life. I would *very* strongly suggest that you move this line of emails to either a personal [email to email] level or to alt.religion.... news group. In other words, knock it off kids! Have a good one, and if you are going to have more than one.... give me shout, eh! mu...@cb... wrote: >On Wed, 28 Jan 2004, [ISO-8859-1] OROSZI Balázs wrote: > > > >>As I said before, I *didn't* write that mail, so I'm not trying to >>"convert" you to anything. >> >> > >I didn't say you did.
