John, thanks for the clarification, and I agree. Making predictions about what will likely happen in the future is a matter of belief.

I find it amazing how people will twist things others have said so they can engage in the old, familiar argument they'd rather be having. I thought it was meant to be the old 'creationism versus science' thing again, but I was wrong. It will still probably go that way. (That's a belief, but I'll be able to prove I was right after it happens.)
