:::While I don't agree with Dawkins on this issue, I confess I haven't read the book. I have read other books by him and I know he tends to quote his sources. I will have to find a library copy. [[User:Leopeo|Leopeo]] 04:08, 11 May 2007 (EDT)

::: Your attempt to make out that the relationship between Christianity and the scientific efforts of the scientists was coincidence more than anything else ignores the fact that the book's author (along with other researchers) specifically said that one was dependent on the other. Your handwaving away the dependency says much about your lack of objectivity.
::: Similarly, your attempt to counter the church's documented support for science with the odd counter-example shows that you are willing to grasp at straws.
::: I was raised in a Christian home and have attended church all my life, yet I have ''never'' been taught that I'm not allowed to question the authority of the church leadership, or even the Bible. Perhaps that's because I was raised as a Protestant, but I've already mentioned that it was Protestantism that I'm referring to as much as anything.
