To get tolerance of religious devotion from the scientific community is a win. I won't even expect encouragement. I have never been one to feel that intelligent design and evolution are mutally exclusive. I think that "Let There Be Light" is a good way to describe the Big Bang. But as a general rule I stay on the outside looking in when it comes to this argument. Experience has taught me that the claws can really come out from both sides on this one. It is more fun to watch than to participate in.
