" . . . a lot of people have completely rejected science"

Not wholeheartedly embracing evolutionary theories isn't the same thing as "rejecting science."

Some of us might be lukewarm about a very small part of the scientific community, but we'd be fools to throw out our computers, wouldn't we?.

Some of us might be lukewarm about a very small part of the scientific community, but we'd be fools to throw out our computers, wouldn't we?. Yep. Actually, I should modify it a bit. While I don't see some completely rejecting all science much, I do see some rejecting science generally (so to speak) because of issues like ID/evolution. We should be grateful to those dedicated scientists out there who have made it possible for our lives to be easier. We should be thankful for those who have fought/fight for our freedoms too. We should also be thankful for the things that God has given us.

It's my personal belief that God inspires certain scientists in making new discoveries. I'm not going to say which--because that is another thing entirely.

[" . . . a lot of people have completely rejected science"]

Not wholeheartedly embracing evolutionary theories isn't the same thing as "rejecting science."

In order to reject evolutionary biology, most folks end up rejecting large portions of physics, geology, paleontology, biology, etc.

And in order to reject those, or other findings of science that they feel contradicts what they'd like to believe, they reject the validity of the scientific method and its results.

That's close enough to "rejecting science" to have earned the description.
