[" . . . 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.

Interesting points again. I had a wonderful geology teacher years ago. She sure had a passion for it and I really enjoyed the class--she got her students enthused about geology too. She was also a faithful Christian too.
