We are in the majority.

And there was a time when the Majority of the People believed that the earth was flat.

There was also a time where the Majority of the People believed in a geocentric universe.

Only of fool would want scientific questions determined by majority rule.

Not really. Everyone can see the shadow of the earth on the moon during an eclipse. Everyone can see the shape of the moon and sun. Everyone could see a ship's sails first when it came over the horizon.

Very few would believe that the earth was flat.

Which is the equivalent of what the Temple of Darwin believes now.

==Only of fool would want scientific questions determined by majority rule.

Very true. But then again, only a fool would let scientific questions be determined by a crazy clique of Darwinian religious fanatics either. Their is only two solutions. Either let both sides be heard in our public schools and science institutions, or get the government out of the science business altogether, and return science to the private sector. Personally, I would prefer the latter.
