L. Mencken" Paul, religion is all well and fine in its own right. The problem occurs when some proponents attempt to grant it a validity that religion itself clearly denies. Every religion proudly affirms that the only validity it has is as a feature of *belief.* Science, as we know it today, has as a basis, validity through demonstration that it correctly predicts the behavior of nature, and that clearly has no "faith" basis at all. The lunatics are attempting to grant religious precepts a validity equal to that of proven science. It doesn't wash. There will always be some who try anyway, and there's no dissuading them. It is a topic not worth the effort to discuss because if those nutcases were actually seeking truthful answers they could be persuaded. And of course they can't.
