John Dobson believes that the Universe is a Veil hiding a more fundamantal reality. I can accept this, we have a facinating and astounding Universe governed by physical laws, which may (or may not) be just a veil. This accepts the physical reality of the Univese that we inhabit and perceive. But when some of the more fundamentalist members of the abrahamic religions try to tear down my veil, and put their own in its place...not happy.
Interestingly, I understand that the Islamic world does not have a problem with evolution.
..what makes astronomy so facinating and astounding is the contemplation of those vast cold dark spaces, overwhelmingly indifferent, the universe doesn't care what we believe...
