Carol,

when in the context of an interview about religion Feingold says that sentence you have quoted he does not imply that no other condition can lead to the result. A physicist would express it differently and more strongly if he intends to speak about a necessary condition.

Shambles' formulation changed a sentence that can have more than one interpretation (one of them being yours) into one that only allows your interpetation.

Littel Hawk and Jerry, a scientific theory is a completely different thing from how the word is understood in the vernacular. The people of the 'Intelligent design' movement make the same 'it's just a theory' mistake.
