Let me rephrase what I wrote. I was expressing my opinion.

not popular culture's take on something most people don't understand.
What I find interesting is how "learned men", such as doctors, will immediately revert to popular culture opinion on subjects that they don't understand, like computers. I would have thought that they would know better than to spout popular culture drivel about things they don't understand, given their depth of understanding and training in a specific area. Marc

It doesn't matter if the statement was your belief, opinion or a joke. God as creator and science don't have anything to do with each other. If there is evidence left by the creator of the universe then science is a good tool for examining it, but it is just a tool or process. There is only one aspect of God that interferes with science. Explainer of the unknown. Such and such happened because God made it happen or willed it or whatever is not something that can be processed by science. It's just beyond the scope of the kind of questions the process can provide answers to and has to be ignored as part of the scientific process. People get into trouble when they think science provides a way to answer any question, or provides some sort of absolute truth.

That never stops us, does it? :-D The more you know about one subject the more you think you are an expert at everything. It's an ugly part of human nature.
I would teach the world that science is not about truth, but is about trying to get closer to the truth. - Kathy Sykes

Actually, there's a lot of science surrounding cooking. For example: Did you know that the gluten in cornflower cause liquid to bind, because molecules get stuck in the long strings formed by the gluten molecules? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluten[^] There's a program on discovery science that shows a lot of interesting stuff about cooking.

Interesting. I would disagree, but it's difficult to put the reason into words. Maybe later. :)

Based on my personal beliefs, I agree with you. Marc
