The sooner the non-theist accepts the proposition that science and religion are mutually exclusive and utterly un-reconcilable, and that the ability to believe in an intangible supernatural father creator being is an evolutionary coping mechanism designed to provide a psychological buffer against the fact that man is simply incapable at this stage of his intellectual development to even marginally comprehend the mysteries of the universe and life itself - the sooner those of us who have been fortunate enough to have evolved beyond the need for such comforting and rationalising devices as Gods and good books can move on from the debate.

My position on religion: I will always respect someones right to believe as long as they, in turn, respect my right not to... in equal measure.

I do however support the Christian Community, as Christianity is an important and inseparable component of my European heritage. Maybe it would be of some benefit if more of us non-theists at least went through the motions of identifying with our Christian roots. Especially in these dark times when the very future of the Occident is in doubt.

As for the accuracy of the Bible? One would indeed need to rely on pure faith when considering much of the content of this sacred volume -particularly Genesis. For a scientist it is largely dismissable.
