Perhaps what causes "intolerance" is when people throw around scientific terms that they can't back up. For example, you have said you believe everything is written in one's genes. The word "gene" is a scientific term that wouldn't exist if we didn't have science. But when there's no science to back up your statement, except anecdotes, it's plain to see that you're not talking science at all. If not science, what's left? Faith?

It's misleading and dishonest to use a scientific term when science is not what is believed in. I see no evidence whatsoever that you believe in science. It seems like what is believed in is faith-based predetermination.
