they now talk unscientifically about science.'

Have you noticed how unscientificness is mostly found where science abuts religion?  No one complains much about the science of constructing buildings that don't fall over in earthquakes,  physics that can propel satellites to other planets, and television that yanks pictures out of the air.  But once science casts doubts on religious mythology, it ceases to be viable.

Scientists cling rabidly to other things that cause their own jihads amongst each other, but anyway...

But once science casts doubts on religious mythology, it ceases to be viable.

99% of the time when science "casts doubts on religious mythology", it is because it has overstepped its bounds. At any rate, there is an explanation and that is that for most scientists, science is their religion. They weave their theories into a cult as real as any of the 1st Century Mysteries. It is the #1 religion in America today--and no religion likes competition. Furthermore, I think you'll find, the times it "casts doubts on religious mythology" it does nothing pracitcal (and don't you dare suggest genetics--that was begun by a MONK!) and cannot be proven.
