That's fine for you, at this time in your life. But you sound like someone with whom I would have little hassle. However, you are a relative minority among those who believe - many need to convert others to justify this own faith, and there are those who need to dominate 'Science' to make it fit, just like in Galileo's day, to what they "KNOW".

You are lucky at the moment about what you say is 'tolerant' in your local group. So was Australia too - then fire and brimstone Billy Graham turned up to harvest souls and money. (Bloody arrogant Yanks again!) My parents took me with them to the big meeting at the country showground. Apart from a massive feeling of vague guilt, it just was pretty boring to us Lutherans.....
