The big lie...
Originally liberals were social conservatives who advocated growth and progess mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality...the nature of man/govt. does not change.
Atheist secular materialists through evolution removed the foundations...made the absolutes relative and call all technology evolution(science) to substantiate their efforts--claims...social engineering--PC!
Liberals/Evolution BELIEVE they are the conservatives too!
What's left?

knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality...the nature of man/govt. does not change. You actually buy into this?

How clever, you switched the name of God with Allah.What is the name of God, actually? Isn't "God" a title rather than a name?
Just asking... :)

Is the science cabal finally beginning to break up after about 500 years? Let's hope.

Normal science and inquiry is a set of beliefs that are shared by scientists who create paradigms and test hypotheses that fit into the paradigms rather than investigating alternative ways of looking at the universe. Scientists are essentially conservative (not the present day political/cultural sense!) who for the most part do not dare to go outside this paradigm and who control the means (financing) of maintaining the paradigm. If you are interested in the critique of science as an epistemiology you should take a look at Thomas Kuhn's
Structure of Scientific Revolution and Popper and others. According to Kuhn, "it is the incompleteness and imperfection of the existing data-theory fit that define the puzzles that characterize normal science."
Thus the scientific establishment creates and perpetuates itself through organizations and PR monopolizing scientific funding.

You should try to keep up with all the competing and conflicting theories that keep getting put forward in the field of cosmology. It will quickly change your mind.

the scientific establishment creates and perpetuates itself through organizations and PR monopolizing scientific funding There are two fronts of attack on the current scientific paradigms -- those from new and better theories, and those from crank theories.
The new and better theories eventually become the current paradigms -- when they can show they are not really crank theories. Consider it a temporary scientific purgatory. Unfortunately ID just hasn't made the cut and will dwell in the underworld forevermore.

The existence of a deity is irrelevant in science.As is science to meaningless life.

Another school board deep in the muck of idiocy.It kinda makes you wonder how our society will maintain itself in a generation or two. Maybe that's why the future has no records from this time period.
Time to bring God back into the public forum openly.
To: JediGirl
The existence of a deity is irrelevant in science.Really? So tell us, how did the scientific laws which science discover arise? Who enforces those laws? How can there be scientific laws in a random occurring universe?
