I think we are on the same page. I don't think you have to choose a side between religion and science. I believe they are complementary. But you're also right that ignorance has taken a hold of many people, including some religious people, and including some non-religious people. I think we all benefit from having open discussions, especially when we disagree on something. That's the only way to see other perspectives. That doesn't mean we have to agree on everything, but being open is important.

My name is actually Michael Klaus Schmidt, and my father's name was Klaus Schmidt He was not an archeologist though, but that is a pretty amazing discovery!
