I guess I probably didn't mean it.

Interesting that when it comes to selling your possessions and giving money to the poor, THAT is only meant for the person being directly addressed but when it comes to knocking on doors and irritating people, THAT is meant for all Christians.

Except you was misrepresenting a scientific theory backed up by evidence with no mention of religion, which you could do in the science section.

More misrepresentation and an implied ad hominem. I do understand the RELATIONSHIP (and it is not good for religion). Except you have provided no evidence for your ersatz god, all you have done is misrepresent the science.

So are people who believe in a conscious universe. And as we outnumber them, they are the pitiful minority.

Other than being in conflict mostly, just what is the relationship you mention? And which religion or religions?
You're being so vague it's like asking when you should prune a bush without knowing what kind of bush it is or what climate it's in

It is called NOMA, where science can not answer questions about any god because it shows (up to this time) no need for a god. So the two are separate, as this allows the gap for a god to hide in. But if science DID show evidence for a god, then it would be accepted. Until some evidence is found, creationists of all types have to either misrepresent or invent scientific facts for their god, because they have to sell their DVDs.

We represent a newer way of thinking, which has not yet become the dominant scientific perspective. But it will. Probably not until all the materialist scientists have died.

That would be my guess. I wonder how often you say things you do not mean.
