Re: "Science creates myth as readily as religion."

>>> Bull. Theories in Science are always subject to revision and replacement because they are subject to verifiable, repeatable testing.

>>> Any scientific theory is just a working assumption, and (past or present theory) it may, and often will be, superceded by new theories that better explain the observable evidence.

>>> Science and Religion do not trod the same ground because Science can only observe and attempt to explain the Natural World (that which is subject to testing and the rules of evidence and logic).

>>> Science can have nothing to say about the Supernatural, which is the preserve of Religion.

>>> Religion explores the Supernatural, and relies upon faith for it's explanation.

>>> Science cannot test the Supernatural, and thus cannot comment upon it.

" those windmill heads who want to force us to buy oil from Saddam, rather than drill our own in ANWAR..."

You are ill informed....we are currently buying 50% of Saddam's oil and processing 90% of it...... You would normally call this treason, wouldn't you????
