[TheCrusader]

"Besides the handful plethora of scientists whose names and quotes appear in the news media almost daily, who politicize their discipline in the interest of ridiculing metaphysical considerations there is a handful of people who disparage the work of science altogether just because (on certain occasions) it does not necessarily incorporate them. And though the latter's thoughts on the subject never appear in the mainstream media, and nobody really knows their names, they comprise a very useful strawman for dishonest types who enjoy employing the use of smoke and mirrors in debates."

There! sigh.....There's nothing quite as beautiful and refreshing as the truth.

You have a point when it comes to media exaggeration and bias. In the real world, however, there are not that many scientists who go about their discipline with intent to deceive or politicize, yet have little or no regard for the metaphysical. The few that are vocal in attacking the authority and accuracy of the biblical texts are speaking outside of their field of expertise.
