Thank you, Mr. Reynolds.
I'm not necessarily a creationist, but I do believe that popular science has, since the grand envelopment of all by Leviathan, developed its own set of beliefs. Top on the list is global warming. Elsewhere is the notion (one you will likely dislike hearing) that SETI is worth a damn.
Michael Crichton made a speech on the topic that was phenomenal.
Nah. I'm not much on Seti.
Still, you don't have to be a creationist to know that science has a longstanding addiction to "the Next Great Discovery"(tm)...even more so since the Creationist debates have revived because everything is propped up as another magic bullet to put creationist to bed.
If they had any shame, they'd be mortified at the number of times they've had to backtrack.
