I am what YOU would probably call a "religious wacko" - I believe in God, I practice my religion on a daily basis, and believe that the world would be better off if people paid more attention to the precepts laid out in the Bible.
Come into the 21st century, khdetw! We're not the backwards, dogmatic zealots of the middle ages (at least most of us). Most of us truly believe in scientific principles, and believe-it-or-not, many of us even understand them. Among us are scientists, biochemists (which my christian son-in-law is), physicists, astronomers (many astronomers), and people from all walks of academic pursuit. We may not see EXACTLY eye to eye with the scientific community at large on certain things, but very few of us still believe that smoking and drinking is caused by demons, or that fossils were created by God to deceive unbelievers.
Personally, I'm thoroughly intrigued by the idea of molecular bots, nanobots, and, well, all things scientific.
