I'm sorry for not replying to everyone, there are so many great contributions that I would like to reply to, it's hard to keep up 
Thank you all for making this thread so lively, I hope it will continue this way  |

I agree, both religion and science have been so inter-related through the ages, as methods for trying to define life, that they have perhaps fed on each other.
There is, now, however, perhaps a danger that the tenuous link, that they might have had, is being severed? as zealots of one deny the other ?
