...just pointing out that scientist are people and they have their dogmas and bogymen, too...
The word dogma came up in post #3, which led to #31.
I still want to know why creationists call evolution a religion or a dogma when they want to insult it, and call ID a science when they want to promote it.
Why are terms associated with religion considered derogatory?
This is not directed at you personally. It's just a question.
"I still want to know why creationists call evolution a religion or a dogma when they want to insult it, and call ID a science when they want to promote it."
Because both sides of this debate are filled with irrational hate.
"Why are terms associated with religion considered derogatory?"
Not always true. But I think it has a lot to do with stupid TV preachers who know next-to-nothing about Christ, less about science, and yet are somehow on about 20 TV channels writing formulas on a blackboard while wearing a yamulka and asking for money.
