Sciencegeek: You stopped reading too soon. my quote is "Evolution or any other scientific study is not enhanced nor diminished by the inclusion or exclusion of a deity."

Reality is not affected by belief or disbelief... it is what it is. Otherwise the earth would be flat for some and round for the rest of us. I don't think so.

Absolutely! It's always interesting asking Post-Modernists who state that "western science" is just a belief system like any other and no more absolutely valid than any other world-view, to follow that precept to its logical conclusion by doing something (anything) that goes against the tenets of established theory. I've never yet had one take me up on the request. :-)
