As far as I'm concerned, I'm very Catholic. In fact, my faith has saved me many
times when I've been down and such.
About *indisputable proof*, as you call it, some saint said once "don't ask why:
believe and then you'll understand". Religion, as John has said, concerns things
beyond this world, so we can't always explain them, or even understand. But when
we believe, then we just come to a degree where we accept.
Now, in spite of what I believe, I also believe in evolution. I don't believe
completely in what's said in the Genesis about how the Earth and its creatures
were created (just as I don't believe other stories in the Old Testament). I can
believe, however, that God created some creatures, while others eventually
evolved. Maybe it's because Galápagos Islands are so close to me, but I just
believe evolution is a fact. So, if someday you feel like giving Charles Darwin
a try, visit the Islands and see what's there. It's a paradise: you wouldn't
believe the things you see. (This is the second time I advertise Ecuador, and
Galápagos in particular. Sorry about that.)

Heh... I know... Let's suggest to Walter that we have a new group at news.digitalmars.com called: D.religion ;-).  He's refused every other attempt at splitting the newsgroup.  Maybe this time he'll agree. :-D.
