I'm over here in my little corner of the world pumping my fists reading your posts in here. >religious attack-dog attitude I often encounter This describes it precisely. I'm sure it's partly rooted in a long history of disingenuous arguments starting in the same way, particularly those that jump from something that has any scientific basis at all right to full on metaphysical or spiritual explanations. I'm sure it's also rooted in much of the same psychological underpinnings of evangelists allowing for thought tinkering at the edges of scripture but protecting the tenets of their faith quite literally with their lives.
