I did say at the beginning, I could. I will admit I made an ignorant statement or claim. No one person can prove belief in God unless the words of an individual's experience is taken at face value like science is taken by the mainstream scientific community. This also can be done by any religion if you believe there is something more to life than just being born and dying which is the end which I know most of the community of this forum doesn't from what I can tell. On some religions, it does hold back advancement. Others, not so much so. Like me, yes I was brought up in church. Now, my views on things could be completely different on the scientific community than the mainstream faith such as I don't have a problem going to the doctor and taking antibiotics when I need it, but there is one particular faith who is against going to a physician at all. I can't think of the name of it right off hand. I think this is completely insane and on this I think most of the community would agree with me on that statement by what you stated. I do support advancement regardless of what my personal beliefs are. If science can explain something, I am just as excited as the next person. I love technology.
