So then why did you describe it as such?
Did you ever wonder why physicists are more likely than biologists to be theists? Why, for example, did John Polkinghorne, professor of physics at Cambridge University, one of the most prestigious physics universities in the world (home to Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Ernest Rutherford, and Steven Hawking, among many other illustrious physicists) go on to become an ordained priest in the Anglican Church?

I thought not.
You assume far more about me than you have basis for.

Fijian, you are trying to dismiss what I have to say with a label. Rhetoric works that way, not logic.

Why are you dismissing what I said with these labels?

I have not abandoned this thread. I am just preoccupied, for now, with a different thread.
