Splendid J&M, as usual, pointing out the way in which many religious people stretch, twist and mold the obvious facts of the world to fit their favourite world-view, i.e. that their particular omnipotent deity exists and regularly intervenes in Human affairs in their favour. Science (particularly Medicine and Biology) have progressed in the teeth of opposition from religion over hundreds of years, the examples of this are legend. Of course, some religious scientists are able to compartmentalize these two things and function perfectly well in doing their science but this fact has no bearing on the validity or otherwise of the truth claims of religion, it merely speaks to the demonstrable plasticity of Human brains.
