I believe I answered this point rather directly in post #3.

Well, actually that #3 was my point, and I don't think you did exactly. After reply #31, I may have become more smarmy than I prefer...

In #3 You wrote "I've never seen that, especially since science has nothing to say about morals." in response to what your recipient had written about "science worshippers", a seemingly derogatory term for "scientists" or "supporters" of evolution.

In effect, you changed the subject. That had been my point. The writer to which you responded never made any claims about "science" itself, but about those who espouse it as something more than it is (in his/her view). That's a key diversion in my humble opinion.

Okay, let me be a little more clear:

In sixty years in applied science, I have never met, or heard of, a "science worshipper" and, I strongly suspect, the fool I posted to never has either and wouldn't know one if it bit him in the ass. He posts his non-sequitur strawman construct and I call him on it - is that something new in your experience?
