 I thought I'd drop in... 8-) I do not view religion as a hoax, I simply 
don't believe in religion at all... Any individual or organisation is not
 needed to conduct your own life, existence on this planet...

 I understand this and it has its possible is not probable points, Still 
why bother trying to nut this out? Surely it is a wasted effort?

 Individuals...

 >and very limited and unwilling to accept anything on faith.  Not

 faith is really only a personal preference and/or opinion... Basically!

 >only do I condemn your beliefs but I also am appalled by religous
 >fanatics who are not willing to accept evolution.  Why cannot
 >evolution and religion coexist?  The truth is they do.  And until
 >you are willing to broaden your perception of God and science and
 >accept that they can coincide then you will be accepting a lie.

 There is no lie here, There shouldn't even be a debate!?

 >P.S.:  Please write me back and give me your opinion on my lecture

 See, simply opinions... 8-)
