Well said.
The thing is, Coyoteman doesn’t seem to have such reasonable and liberal (old definition) standards. I do suggest you check out the thread I referenced in my earlier post; in it he accuses Creationists of trying to make us a theocracy and predicts that once this theocracy is in place the government will ban certain lines of scientific inquiry outright. The sort of thing you would expect to see on DU, not FR.
” The sort of thing you would expect to see on DU, not FR.”
Or on Darwin Central.
Some do. There's always been a vocal fringe in religion that want to prevent scientific research.
From Galileo to IVF to stem cell research.
Heck, I even remember reading a story or watching a news cast that featured some nutjub that wanted to stop the LHC from launching, because she believed we were "playing God" or some other such nonsense.

Most of the science-friendly people on FR keep their mouths shut, because they don't want to get into a drawn out fight with the... ah... more 'notorious' Biblical literalists and/or get banned.
*shrug*
Scientists usually doesn't have to actively engage with the general public, because their work - collectively mostly, but sometimes individually - drags society along.
It’s pointless. Some here seem to be here to do nothing but agitate anymore. No doubt they’re having a good laugh over at Darwin Central at all the ‘luddites’ here in this thread. Must be nice to be so easily amused.
