Wow, generalisation or what! I don't reject it out of hand - some of the greatest scientists in the past were Christians, such as Isaac Newton. It's just when science says "50 million years ago this happened" I often wonder who was there to record it. Now if they said "50 million years ago WE BELIEVE this happened", I'd be much happier man

Scientists say, "we have evidence to say that this or that happened 50 millions years ago until
someone else proves different". It is never a "belief". It can be a theory but if it is then they say so but to make a good theory you still have to be able to apply it to other things to back it up. You just can't make stuff up and say "this is so".
Religious people say "we believe this or that happened xxxx years ago and we don't care what anyone else says because that is what we believe no matter what anyone else says.....oh and we have this ambiguous storybook full of chinese whispers and contradictions to prove it".
PS BTW: It's "Cavalry" not "Calvery". Calvery is what illiterate american people say instead of the word cavalry. On the otherhand "Calvary" is a a place in Utah (a US state which is probably the worst possible place in the western world for a non-christian to live).
