As this thread shows, either side can bash the other with abstractions. And either side can find examples of the other side misbehaving. But the broad-brush statement that faith is incompatible with science is bigoted and unworthy.

...and rarely seen here coming from the defenders of evolutionary theory posting here, nor from scientists, that I am aware of.

As an aside, why is it impossible to have discussions on FR? I'd like to talk about ideas, not play some vague debating game with vague rules and no referees.

Just off hand, I'd guess that your distaste for some particular thrust of rhetoric is probably not universally the same thing as "playing some vague debating game". Let me recommend that you endulge a little in "the debating game" by studying the debating Principle of Charity--you can probably massage all the ideas you want if you are willing to reach out for it.

I responded to one such in post #97. It may be rare, but I don't spend much time on these threads.

Good guess, but I'd have to disagree. I suppose you scored a point, though I don't really understand the rules.

Shalom.
