Can you imagine the world we might be living in if secular scientists didn't always get it wrong? We might have ways to... prevent them from getting polio. Oh wait...

Jonas Salk wasn't a secularists, he beleived there was a God. Nice try though.

Most scientists believe in God. You don't know that the ones who made the Norwegian discovery don't also. The question, when you talk about "secular science," isn't whether the scientist believes in God, but whether they only seek conclusions that validate their beliefs--as ICR does--or just do science. By the way, this is what Salk had to say about evolution: "Of course evolution is real. DNA mutates, and that makes evolution one of the most powerful forces in nature. But who set evolution into motion? Can't God have done that? I can't stand it when the ideologues take over on something like this."

Psyops. Whoever controls the terms controls the debate. Using "secular" as if it was synonymous with "atheist" is a gambit to create polarization, in support of false dichotomies.
