And once again, people are confusing logic with faith - I know quite a few scientists and other very bright people with strong religious beliefs, and they see no conflict - they obviously must be liars and/or stupid

In all honesty I could have worded my post a little better

I'm not trying to say people of faith are unintelligent, because obviously they are not. It's just as I said earlier, when you take an unbiased look at any of the main religions it seems incomprehensible that in this day and age people can accept what was written two thousand years ago as truth.
