I think you took it a bit too literally, let me expand on the thought a little, it works both ways, and generally its the passage out of some religious tome that sparks the argument, and we've all been down this road, and the more you go, the more you realize that you are saying the same thing over and over again, and it's not getting you anywhere... Still, time and time again, proper scientific folk get drawn into these debates, that are always about the same thing, and they always end similarly, in both sides still being at square one, in disagreeance with each other.

In the process of maintaining scientific integrity at a science website, it is necessary by default to refute unscientific notions, and to challenge philosophies that are based in superstition and myth.

I'm not saying that there is no justification for doing it, i'm just tired of posts being dragged from proper discussion, into the same road we've been down a hundred times, if not more... Yes it needs to be refuted, but it almost never ends in any one being defeated, in their minds, even the folk that leave the conversation, still think that their version is right, why? They are brainwashed to do so, you are trying to convince someone who has never questioned, to follow the logic of a person who has already answered....

They absolutely are, and thus they should not be mixed. I study religion, well, theology, and generally more of a historical aspect of it for me though...
