Welcome
Hi, Alter2Ego--welcome to EvC!
I cannot address your topic, since I am not a Christian. I'm mostly interested in science and stick to the science/secular sections.
Here, on the religion side of the forum, science is not welcome; on the science side, the religiously faithful never ever respond to issues of science with declarations of faith.
I hope you enjoy EvC.
P.S. Is your avatar pic a representation of Eve? I give extra credit for non-blue-eyed images of Jesus and his folks.

He's being sarcastic, because some theists do respond to scientific issues with declarations of faith. He failed to mention that such responses are also met with complaints and sometimes suspension.
I prefer the term "ironic".

Re: Welcome
I see that purpledawn has authoritatively determined my meaning, as is her wont.
Let it suffice to say that the vigilance against science here vastly exceeds the vigilance against faith on the science side. How could it not? If the demand for science and evidence there were enforced as strenuously as they are made anathema here, there could be no creationist participation.
However strict purpledawn portrays the enforcement of rules for evidence on the science side to be, you will be able to judge for yourself how often religious commentary on scientific issues leads to suspensions.
Nonetheless, the welcome is genuine. I will read your posts with interest and without further comment.
PS: I remain curious about your avatar.
