As someone interested in science, I was really excited to read the headline and see the HN discussion. As a Christian I was surprised and kind of creeped out to see the "so much for the Bible" talk. I feel like a Japanese person must feel when an American tries to get them to laugh at jokes. But I guess in a way it's nice though that nobody ever brings up the sort of beyond-Religion-101 topics that actually challenge my faith.

Edit: Why all the downvotes? I'm saying I'd prefer we let science be science, without the didactic religion talk, pro or con.

At the time of writing there is only 1 parent comment poking fun at the bible. Let's not get too delicate here.

Only one parent comment sure, but it was the second comment on the page at the time, and is currently the longest thread on the page. Nothing wrong with calling it out.

that "longest thread" includes some moderately enlightening comments which are not at all anti-religion, but are challenging in a good way.

disclosure: I wrote some of them ;)

Says who, Jesus?

The down votes are likely from sounding entitled and looking to be offended, especially if it was as you mentioned the second comment.

Then feel free to respond to the comment at hand, not start another thread discussing the matter.

On the upside, they got thoroughly smacked down, and I learned something interesting about Genesis today :)
