And another thing. I have never claimed to be totally anything.
I am a Christian, I am a scientist, I am a practitioner, and I suppose many other things.
When I am a scientist I try to be as objective as possible given the inherent fallibility of also being human. Nevertheless I make a sincere attempt.
In my life as a Christian I make every effort to cast off my pursuit of objective truth and accept on faith what Scripture offers.
As a practitioner I mix the two.
