        scientists can be Christian too. Jesuit priests are a thing.

        A christian would not look at the world from space and glorify man. He glorifies God for creation (earth, man, universe).

        the quote is meant to unify humanity and point out the pettiness. Pettiness like say, attacking scientists?

        You're repeating yourself by explaining the secular meaning. I gave you the religious perspective. That's all.

        no reduancies. You said "Christians think this, and scientists think that" as if they can't intersect. I told you you're wrong.
