his advice was to acknowledge what they were saying, (instead of blowing them off) ......... it seems that they even had a new-found respect for me, because they now see that i understand their position and kinda let them off the hook.
hope this helps.

i totally agree with this, yusuf, i was definelty one of those science folks, hardcore, and at certain points in my life i would have blown off any off this information. i had some major events that helped me discover it and now im fully immersed. so in alot of them deep down they are searching for that answere, thats why they want proof so bad, if they got it they would be satisfied.

what i find works (sometimes) is that you should just be yourself, and dont even hint towards your beleifs, like a dont ask dont tell policy. even if there is a heated debate on similar stuff, if noone asks your opinion dont give it. maybe if they do discover your beliefs after the fact, then they have more respect for you because you didnt barge in with your views, you sat calmly and let them talk freely with out judgement.

its hard to do but it might work in the long run. and maybe one day like myself you will be reading a law of one book and someone notices. they ask, and you be happy to tell.

hope this helps because it helped me!
