"But he's right, you know. His own Google research shows that Danes, Australians, and Canadians are increasingly interested in Intelligent Design."
I don't mean to be rude, but that's one of the sorriest comments I have ever read on Free Republic.
The opinions of non-politicians are pretty useless when you have questions regarding politics.
The opinions of non-artists are pretty useless when you have questions regarding art.
The opinions of men are pretty useless when you have questions regarding women. (Yes, I only recognize 2 sexes.)
The opinions of non-believers are pretty useless when you have questions regarding theology.
By shutting out all but the true believers from the debate you GUARANTEE that you will, eventually, stray into a fundamentalist religion. It's preciesly because science can operate in the full light of day, defending itself against all comers, that it has brought us so far.
If you can't explain your science to the layman, I would propose you are no longer dealing in science.
Shalom.
So, does it hold that, since you are so notably irreligious, that your opinion on matters of religion is to be likewise downplayed, discarded, ignored?
