No, when I think logically I leave emotion on the wayside. Normally very emotional but if we let emotion rule us then Anti-Science shall win.

What exactly is your definition of "Anti-Science?"

OK...I'll accept that definition, but I do have some questions for you. Using science and logic, please explain the following:

1) The Mitochondrial Eve
2) The Y-Chromosomal Adam
3) Please tell me what the probability is, starting from the probability of the big bang, of my having this thought. I believe that if you calculated the total probability of my having this thought, the number would be something like "1:some number greater than the number of subatomic particles in the universe" If there aren't enough particles in the Universe to express even the number, how can it possibly be by chance. Of course, I'm not a math wiz, so if I am wrong please correct me.

I could go on, but I think this is enough. My only point is that science is great, I love science. But it is not the antithesis of God, because it is a part of the creation.
