Chris;
I do not recall ever criticising anyone for their beliefs, one way or the other.
As a matter of fact, I usually go out of my way to make the point that anyone can believe whatever they want.
I'm a campaigner for not holding any cosmological beliefs too close to heart, also.
Science isn't about finding the truth. This simply isn't relevant to science.
I think we're both in vigorous agreement about this.
All I said was that it 'amazes' me.
In this lower-rigour forum, I trusted that I would be granted a chance to express some feelings on this matter with the broader IIS community.
Cheers
