I don't fear science at all. But I do understand why you feel you need to characterize me as such. It is the only way you can deal with what I am saying to you.
"Unless we can all agree that God created a world 6,000 years ago that appears to be billions of years old, and that He tricked the scientists, and will continue to trick them in the future, then to hell with science."
Nope, I'm not even telling you that. What I'm telling you is that science is going to come up with a naturalistic explanation. That is a requirement of the philosophy (and science as naturalism is a philosophy).
"You prefer magic. You believe in magic. Magic is more important than testable reality. Your belief is more important than the Super Bowl."
Again, I have nothing to do with magic or the Super Bowl.
What I do care about is that people not be deceived about what science can say and what it cannot.
I do understand why you must demonize that which you do not understand. It threatens your paradigm and demonizing your opponent is the only effective option that you have at your disposal.
I see. You probably have no clue what an inherently hypocritical statement that is.
I frankly don't care what you think about me, because I no longer care about your opinions.
I don't need to demonize you. You've done it to yourself.
Now build me that ark.
