Hi, Blzebub.

So what is achieved here?
I've learned (and am still learning) how to debate logically from this forum, which has helped me to no end in my ability to think and reason as a scientist.

Neither side is ever going to change their opinion.
Maybe not overall. I'm still a Mormon, for instance.
But, I have certainly been challenged on, and have changed, many of my original opinions and beliefs about how the world works, how science works, and what I should be doing with my life regardless of which side turns out to be right.
I've also learned to not automatically assume that an atheist is a bad, unpleasant person with whom I would and should never be interested in associating.
