Reply #18: Yeah, he's similar although not Christian.

He just describes himself as 'spiritual' and just 'feels that there is a higher power out there'. So 99.9% of the time Science and his beliefs work perfectly together and have no problem. It's just really evolution that is the stump.

He believes in the principles of evolution just not that it was completely random, unlike many Fundi's as you pointed out - who are using Intelligent Design as an attempt to sneak in creationism.

I enjoyed the debate, it just left me somewhat... unsettled. I like having all the facts laid out before me. Granted, even if there are other universes out there, and this theory is correct, it still doesn't prove the existence of a creator or a creative force... or whatever.

I am glad we had the debate, and it was actually a veiled attempt to find out if he was interested in it and to see if he had read the Elegant Universe as I was thinking about buying the DVD and Book for him for Christmas. *LOL!*
