@mirandaciel: Oh I know you're not shoving it down anyone's throat at all, no one is, everyone's talking calmly and expressing how they feel, :) but I'm aware of how things like this can often go so thought it best to explicitly outline what could happen and to finish anything before it starts if that makes sense. I also wouldn't want any hostility towards a theistic approach to life for example, hence my stressing of 'critical' rather than 'rudeness' - like you've mentioned before it's not Wrong to bring science and religion together to appreciate the world better. I'd also love to see someone try and disprove God comprehensively using science, but lawl that's not going to happen, so no one can be critical of a belief in God using pure observational evidence (although it could be debated but not ruled out if that makes sense?).

Quoted for truth, we'll be defending you, until someone can prove otherwise :)
The religion thread's pretty cool, there's loads of people there with different ideas and someone might have a similar belief system, too.
So for cosmogny, I have a post somewhere :: searches :: actually it's a page stretcher so I'll just link it
here. I went back and put in some definitions so it's rather long, but how the universe got to be how it is now is really hard to explain without either equations or waving hands about (don't you find that, that things are easier with hands to wave?) xD
