March 7, 2016 - Jerry Coyne wrote a comment at the Wall Street Journal about an article that criticized what Jerry Coyne wrote. This is one of the Wall Street Journal's religious fucktard articles. Virtually all the Republicans who read the WSJ are evolution deniers, aka uneducated morons. My contempt for religious scum grows every day.

At his website Jerry Coyne wrote "It’s a travesty that the Wall Street Journal publishes tripe like this. Are they that desperate for copy?" The Wall Street Journal publishes tripe every week. The idea is to suck up to their moron customers.

This piece is profoundly misguided because it conflates the meaning of "faith" in science (confidence born of experience) with that of "faith" in religion (belief without sufficient evidence to command the assent of every reasonable person). I wrote about exactly the issues Emerson discusses in an article two years ago in Slate, "No Faith in Science," and recommend that he and others read it: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2013/11/faith_in_science_and_religion_truth_authority_and_the_orderliness_of_nature.html

As for this piece, I've criticized it on my website, Why Evolution Is True: https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2016/03/07/another-misguided-believer-claims-that-science-is-based-on-faith/
