re: #1166 Walter L. Newton

Understood. I’m not saying he doesn’t have a valid argument with in the confines of his beliefs and his science. If you are a believer and scientist, than this sort of symbiotic attempts are understandable. But that doesn’t make them true. I am coming from the side of an atheist, so, of course, I’m going to see his writings as an attempt to rectify something that is like apples and oranges.

You’re free to be an atheist as well. Maybe he’ll show you that religion and science aren’t as incompatible as too many people believe. Maybe he won’t. But you are being open-minded enough to have a rational discussion on this.
