This is all quite simply opinion without evidence. It is untrue, and therefor useless in discussion. For science to be "hijacked by religious nuts" they would first of all have to know something about science. I can assure you that is one HUGH obstacle.
Untrue, useless to discuss, think again. I've already given you the evidence, let me spell it out for you as simply as I can.
Religion: (answers.com) 3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
Science has already been hijacked by religious nuts, you missed it! It's called Darwinism.

"Science has already been hijacked by religious nuts, you missed it! It's called Darwinism." Regardless of how earnestly you assert this pablum, or nostrum, whichever connotes the most queasiness, it remains insupportable hokum.
Religious nuts generally stay far away from any hint of real science, unless they think they can score points somehow by citing an off-the-cuff religious quotation that supposedly skewers the fact-citing opposition.
Your supposed hijacking Darwinists are no more hijackers of anything than a very real beagle dog was the lead mutineer aboard the H.M.S. Beagle.

I rather enjoy living in the most powerful technology advanced country in the know history of the planet. If you and yours get your way we will lose that edge.

Its not so much a religion as a giant Cult. Anybody who questions the cult will be ostracized or excommunicated and nobody in the cult wants that. Like all cults they never question themselves and only attack anybody who questions them. This thread is a perfect example, to question science is heresy.

No one professes a religious belief in "Darwinism".
