I think this guy has more faith in, and gives more scope to science than

bring up the subject, and let science and logic be modified such that it
is so. Which is about as bad as the creationists who pick their own
premise -- the Bible -- and let all other intellectual endeavor be
modified such that the premise remains intact.

Yep, we see here again the pattern that all zealots, no matter what
their particular brand of zealotry is, are essentially the same.


Neither of you know what you're talking about.

You cannot include religion into science but you certainly
can include science into religion. You just need to know the
boundaries for each. If you've tried and failed then your
religion is not good enough. Or you know nothing about your
religion, or ANY religion. You think people are fools?


Theists who make falsifiable real-world claims for their religion are
fools for making them outside their religion. Eg creationists.

It's their problem that science falsifies them, not ours.
