Which part about science versus religion that I did not understand?
All of it! Please, per your disposition and convenience, explain it to
me. I like to read. Or, sorry to ask, send me the links! If the
explanations exist only in paperbacks, I'll suffer the indignity of
walking into my nearest state sponsored... err... dare I say it...
Library. I would walk into one, if it were worth the trip.

I come from, and grew up, in India. There the Homeless do not die of
freezing cold like the Journalist did in England. Die they still do.
Kind of a cure, I suppose.
Homeless are indifferent to the root causes of their plight, whether
it be caused by Sciences, Religions, or plotting Politicians. I
suspect they the Homeless just want a solution.

We are not at any loggerheads Dreamer. I like your alias, but do know
that I always read aliased posters with a mountain of salt. Discuss
freely anything you wish, to your heart's content. I am not here to
argue or fight. I'm just wasting my free time on Usenet. If I wanted
for substance in News, I'd tune into Fox daily without fail.
