go believe that the earth is center of universe or that the theory of gravitation is not a law but has to gain a religious mandate to be "acceptable".
Science is not the end all. Absolute truths exist and ever so slowly science is approaching some truths in some areas. In the meantime, they still get things wrong and time will show what is wrong and what is right.
Without common sense and morals, all the learning in the world will be of no avail. Oh, as your post reveals, scientific knowledge need not do anything helpful in human relations. It is said in the NT: Out of the abundance of the heart speaketh the mouth.
The only thing that seperates us from those barbaric Islamo-fascists is our scientific progress.. being religious or not is immaterial here, our religion might help us lead moral and peaceful lives personally, but it shouldnt be allowed to compromise our scientific capabilities..... which is exactly what you and your ilk are trying to do, by undermining our own scientists and attacking the entire scientific establishment, and by legitimizing an anti-scientific mood all over the country.
The western civilization owes everything to science and technical disciplines. Can you imagine what would have been the situation if Osama and his filthy thugs had nukes and advanced weaponry that we have now, and we were merely living off the land like they are doing so now ??
I'm afraid its a bit cold way to put it, but its the harsh truth--> This country can do away without a thousand Grammar teachers than half a dozen scientists.
