In case your reading comprehension isn’t what it should be, this is not a article from a creationist website, nor is it religious in nature.
Just because there’s a passing comment about the Catholic Church in it as a comparison, doesn’t mean that it’s religious.
Science as it’s practiced today is in big trouble and the sooner those involved with it quit knee jerk reacting to any recognition of that and start addressing the real problems involved, the better.
Part of the problem is what I term the 'yuppifaction of science'. That means that 150 years ago a scientist typically was also a member of the house of lords, and was basically free to challenge entrenched paradigms either in science or in any other field of endeavor. He might get laughed at, but he could not have his basic livelihood taken from him for scientific/political incorrectness.
You need only watch Ben Stein's film ("Expelled") for to grasp the nature of the problem today
