Eh, seems callous to me. The prevailing thought, particularly on scientific theories (hence why they're called theories), isn't always right. Ergo, Columbus sailing off the face of the planet.

I'm not saying s/he was right, but I don't see the harm in discussing it. I tend to believe in both a higher power and also most scientific laws that exist today.

lus it's interesting to recognize the compelling number of similarities in religious texts. Some of which, really isn't off base...for instance the Great Flood and the archaeological discussions of the Bosporus Straights flooding. It was disregarded as myth by most in the scientific community until a few took the time to actually look at it.

So here's to open minds.
