will burn up the chaff

This, this is the reason there exists such tension twixt science and faith -- because you fools make it that way. Look at your first sentence: "...a surprising degree of spirituality in a science-based field". There is nothing suprising about religion in science. Especially when the point of science in His view is that the intricacy and perfection point to Him. That's clear throughout the OT and NT.

Instead, you fools paint them into two different corners. You'd rather see the tension. It's clear from the poll that most of those scientists don't want to be on the wrong side of the shore come JDay. It's clear from your choice of words, media, that you don't care.
