Orac, when you say
... As you know Rev I am not a religious...
I assume you mean to say that you are not a religious person--one who belongs to a church or a movement.
I am sure you do
not mean to add: therefore, I am a
not a moral and ethical person and not to be trusted.
Of course every group has it share of hypocrites; but in my opinion, one can be a religious person--one who is moral and ethical--without having to belong to any one of the organized religions.
In English we can say of anyone, including scientists, who does things strictly and with care: He/she does his/her work "religiously". Therefore, I am proud to say: I try, to the best of my ability, to be religious in all that I say and do.
====================================
BTW, in what way is the QM version of the big bang far more religion-friendly than the steady-state theory of Fred Hoyle? I understand that he even admitted he was wrong.
