To be a scientist, at least since St. Augustine, you need to be willing to interpret scripture in the light of facts.

Somehow, that just doesn't have quite the same perjorative ring as "self-imposed ignorance".

I do my best not to debate religion. But I see nothing inherently wrong with self-imposed ignorance. I know very little about Hinduism, Taoism, Scientology, and a thousand other isms and ologies. There just isn’t time to study everything.

What I object to is people who cannot present a clear definition of evolution demanding to have an influence over how it’s taught.

I have yet to see an evolution critic who could argue the affirmative for evolution — a simple prerequisite for engaging in debate.

It would be fun to see a thread where the usual suspects switched sides.
