Science was once a child of the church.

My question is, is this total lack of empathy due to an unwillingness to even entertain that someone else might not agree with you on this, or an inability to see that?

Neither, its a result of research, history, education, science, common sense, logic, and academics. From all the combined information I have, god is real. I both can explain it, and not explain it. On one site, http://www.forumgarden.com/forums/genera...scussions/
, I had a thread, " Is god real", and I went at it for 4 years explaining how god is real. 4 long years I explained it from every angle I could think of; and in all that time, I have never seen a single shred of evidence that he does not exist.

I know we view evidence different here, as well as proof; evidence produces belief that something is true, and that is considered proof. I don't tell atheist they made the wrong choice, I simply see it as their karma; their place in life.

And I view theist as being where they should be.

And I stand in a different place, agreeing and disagreeing with things in both disciplines.
