People who are pro-science but still suck up to religious insanity have my complete contempt.
Here's an example. A wimp pretends there's no conflict between a god's magic wand and science.
Bill to allow dialogue on creationism is unnecessary
In a similar article recently, I made the point that many seek to promote a false conflict between a religious understanding and a scientific understanding of the world. The real arena where these two perspectives play out is in the contemplation of Cosmology, and it is there that there that one perception may inform the other.
My reply:
"I made the point that many seek to promote a false conflict between a religious understanding and a scientific understanding of the world."
False conflict between supernatural magic and science? What is false about it?
Religion has always been insane. Science has made religion unnecessary.
"The real arena where these two perspectives play out is in the contemplation of Cosmology, and it is there that there that one perception may inform the other."
That's nuts. You are saying magic may inform science. How are you any different from a deranged Bible thumper?
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
