What a post! I snipped most of it because I'm really saying "me too.'

There is a large segment of people, or at least a visible one in the US who have made a mental split between science and faith. It's on both sides; that is, scientists who disdain faith and Christians who reject science. There is a controversy in some schools over science books and the theory of evolution. I don't know if it's true for other countries as well.

Americans like to decorate their cars with statements and symbols that say something about them. A very common decal for cars is the Christian symbol--the fish. Then there is a fish with feet with the word DARWIN on it. And another with one fish eating the other (at the moment I can't remember if Darwin was eating the faith fish, or if it was the other way around.)

Again, me too. And I really like the explanation for why the water is boiling.

Kettle's on. Who wants tea?
