I'll grant you that, Don. But at the same time, I don't think that was the point. Larry is a Christian (I'm assuming from reading his reply, and other things he's written), and the questioner was asking how, as a scientist, Larry can believe in God. I thought his reply was well said, and that's what I was pointing out.
