We're well-aware that many Christians are scientists, today, and that they do cutting edge work in a lot of fields, as you mentioned. We have *zero issues* with those guys, other than disagreeing with their conclusions about supernatural concepts beyond the detection abilities of the sciences.
Hahah of course!.

But that is just me.

WOW, that is the first time I think I ever heard an atheists say that out loud . .

Careful now, you might be thrown out of the non throwing out, non-organization of Atheism. Careful, careful.

And that is how it should be. . . look I am at a lost for words when crazy religious condemn science and science condemns religion. NO! the world has differences in every element and it should have difference in the faith and science too!!! . . I am one who truly never fears oppose thought and opinions. It can become very dangerous if one does!
