You’re proposing that we go back to the days of Newton, when the Church held the authority to pass judgement on scientific theory, and you think it’s a stupid question to ask how you’re going to make that work today. That sounds like a plan. We’ll just declare all the hard questions to be “stupid” and then we won’t have to think about them.

I think we must follow the data and logic wherever it may lead.

Fear of some imaginary bogeyman should not prevent intellectual inquiry and research.
