I will agree with you Steve in this regard. Those that fear that science is going to take away their faith have no faith to begin with. I love science like I said for me personally it only makes mine stronger. However, I will agree with you that there are many others that for some reason think it threatens beliefs ... in that regard, they need to understand their faith better or they never really had faith to begin with.

Well, science's job is to further human knowledge and understanding of things. It's as simple as that. It isn't science's job to undermine religious belief, though that, unfortunately for believers, tends to come as collateral damage. That's why Galileo and Darwin were persecuted by religion, and it's why Galileo has only just been reluctantly apologised to.
