Since you or your compatriots brought up the opposite of science being religion, it must be O.K. with the admin to pursue it.
​
Perhaps not a safe assumption. Any sub-topic, including religion, is valid for discussion in any thread where it bears directly upon the main topic. If that's the case here, then a digression into the definition of religion is fine, but I don't see a connection, so it should be clearly explained why the digression is relevant.

It was Quetzal that mentioned, "your religion". How does he know about "my religion" and how does he apply it to what science and evolution are? That is my dilemma.
​
In other words, your dilemma is how to continue an off-topic digression now that a moderator has asked you to stop. The solution to your dilemma is to find or propose a thread in which to continue that discussion.

Re: Entropy
Hi ENC,
​
To state more clearly what I hinted at as Percy, evolution and thermodynamics are not the topic of this thread. If you scroll up a bit you'll see a suggestion in Message 115 for a thread in which to take up discussion of this topic.
