By the way Musket, you "somehow" amazingly suggest that, in my recent posts, that I am defending faith-"wrong".

My related posts (if you were paying attention at tbat point in Pete and Bills main discussion, on this thread refer to the logic of using quotes (where the context is uncertain) of a science personality to score any point, in a field (religion ir not) where the scientist has no clearly stated scientific expertise. If the discussion related to his or her scientific research or science expertise, that is fine. If it is not, then it clearly an opinion-and unless shown otherwise, why it shoud be considered a better opinion than others?

My case was not made to defend and prop up religion nor shoot it down, but relates to the logic of using opinion quotes of personalities-whether scientific, entertainement, sports or political, to score points for any position in a debate on a topic.

My other point in the discussion related to giving those attempting to actually debate the OP topic, Bill D and Pete 7* the opportunity to do so, without disrespectful comments from the side. IMO, those comments, mostly attacking Pete, using mistly repetitive and disrespectful phrases, serve only the interests of thise who wish tk silence the discussion and scare Pete away from participating. If you were paying attention, Bilk D requested this in frustration awhile back. There is another thread on religion with ample opportunity to fling shit. My recollection is, Bilk D set this one up to avoid that disruptive aspect/influence.
