On these threads the debate is science vs. religion.
The debates over the interpretation of scientific evidence take place in technical journals and scientific conferences, not on FR.
"On these threads the debate is science vs. religion."
I hope you really don't mean that. As you probably already know many of the great men of science such as Galileo, Newton, Descartes were also great men of faith. Most of the people on this thread who talk about Creationism or ID as science are really being quite silly. It bothers me, as a conservative, and as a person of faith that somehow I have to choose between faith and science. I choose to support both. It is most upsetting that some people take pleasure in suggesting that 77% of Republicans don't believe in evolution. More than upsetting it is shameful and I refuse to believe it is a legitimate survey.
