Christians are tired of the philosophical/religious attacks on them made in the name of science.

When evolutionists stop making statements, like the populizer Carl Sagan frequently did, of "The Universe is all that there is and all that there ever will be," which is nothing less than an assertion of philosophical/religious belief, not science, then I don't think real scientists will need to worry about religious people trying to make assertions about science.

With all due respect, sir, this is nonsense. It is nonsense because you are asserting guilt by association. You are generalizing from a few specific cases to the general case.

It is no more logical or fair then if I were to say: "All Christians are hypocrites because Tammy Faye Baker's husband was a philanderer." That is clearly not fair because one man's failure doesn't reflect on all Christians. (I will acknowledge that many liberal media outlets did indeed make this implication. However, they are liberals.) You cannot judge all science or scientists because of a few.

In particular, those of us who are scientists and Christians take exception. I am tired of having my faith questioned just because I am a scientist and believe in evolution.

As a Christian, do you believe the Bible is the infallible word of God?
