just a thought, Shimrod, but since pete is very clear about his lack of qualifications in science and keeps referring to biblical references, perhaps we should really be inquiring about his qualification in that area...

a divinity degree perhaps. Surely something more than the occassional Sunday school session or weekly visit to the local church... what ecclesiastical scholarship does he have... or is merely parroting of some creationist propaganda site?

I'll wager that he is unlikely to disparage the scientific training of any medical staff that provide him with treatments or forego such treatments as a testament of his faith.... the same science that developed said treatments also supports evolution theory.

It does get a bit tiresome with their "I want to have may cake and eat it too" attitude. If you want scientific progress, you get a complete package not some adulterated piece of garbage. That's the problem with truth and reality... it gets uncomfortable at times...
