But neither do I think that scientific explanations takes the wonder away, rather, it makes it even more wondrous :-)
No do I, I never said it did. If anything I find it truely awe inspireing, and the more I learn of creation, the more perplexingly of a wonderous marvel do I find it to behold. Additonally...its a common miconseption that all religions esque science...some (such as my own faith of the Bahai) embrace it.
Yes, I should have said that that was a general comment, not meant as a comment to you. I remember what you have said about this before, and find it of interest that your religion embraces science. Many religious people do, but not, as far as I know, their religion as such. They are divided on that topic.

Yes, but much can happen to a religion over the centuries.
