Agreed. But from the perspective of proselytizing, I don't see it being a good sales tool, and worse, I don't believe that Jesus being SOLD to people works to make them Christian at all.

You're making a good point:

But from the perspective of proselytizing, I don't see it being a good sales tool

However, once again from the cultural perspective - in a great part of popular discussion - there's only 1) what's known (by science alone) and 2) the unknown (everything else especially religion.)

Having this type of change and discussion in the realm of philosophy of science helps free the dialogue as well as avoiding forcing false choices such as "Science OR Relgion."

And, in this respect, it does help open minds, and remove the need for some plowing of ground to even begin proselytizing or apologetics.

Thanks for your reply..
