I see what you are getting at. Perhaps I didn't explain myself clearly. I apologize for my inability to explain things as explicitly.
I am not one to jump to conclusions and make assumptions that "X is true" or that "X is not true". I do not doubt what science has proven and demonstrated. I will agree with science and say "Ok the universe is 13.7 billion years old".
It is always safer to take in knowledge from all directions and learn but not run your entire life by it. My "standard" as you call it, doesn't exist. I do not have a "standard". I just keep an open mind.
As I said earlier, if you want to compare science and religion, well, you know which basket I'd rather put my eggs in.
