Yes! Exactly! If God didn't want us trying to figure out how things worked then science wouldn't exist and we wouldn't have the technology and understanding we have today. And science is by no means one hundred percent fact, because theories and discoveries are always changing.

Yeah, people talk the talk of tolerance but when they walk the walk are mostly stumbling. People don't even debate anymore, they just go right to the insults most of the time. Or jump right to having a superiority complex. In fact having debates are scary these days since you don't know what the result might be - maybe it ends harmlessly, or maybe it ends with you not only being shunned but also actively demonized and harassed. Which is sad, especially when you feel the need to speak out.
