Contrary to the often mis-conception that 'religion' and 'God' are interchangeable...and considering the 'dangerous' ground upon which a discussion of this sort may be inappropriate for the meteoritical discussion here....allow me this thought: A person of 'faith' may not rule out transpernmia in theory; it simply expands the pie. A 'religious' person tied tether-bound to a strick doctrine may reject such an 'outlandish' notion out-of-hand, as it disrupts the entire reality from which their foundation is built. In short, (in my small and insignificant yet human perspective), it should be rational to allow both transpermia and a perspective of God that trancends all current 'views' of even Christianity, allowing for all three to co-exist....just a thought....
