Yes it is

Thank you for agreeing that civilization as we know it is based on science. It strikes me as churlish when the benefactors of something delight in attacking it. But, there you go.

It strikes me as churlish when the benefactors of something delight in attacking it.

And I find it somewhat disappointing when a professed conservative and 'seasoned citizen' considers it beneath himself to engage i honest, reasoned, respectful debate.

No one here is attacking real science, or its benefits to mankind. The author of the article, as well as most participants on the thread, are merely drawing a much needed distinction between real science and politically driven 'scientism'.
