Obviously your answer is "YES." Now that it is YES, you have confirmed that even religious people can make valid points about science. Since, in the context of the post, you admit that they tell the truth; there is no reason for them to (your words) "...expect they would admit to lying!"

Religious people can make valid points about science. They can also lie.

CAN, yes; but in the same way you ask if they would admit to lying you would also have to admit that the other side would be expected to do the same. I think we can both agree that we should not "expect" anything from either side but look at the evidence from both sides in an "asymmetrical" way (with skepticism) and then way the facts, evidence, for ourselves.

But it is not working out this way in Universities or in the elite science communities; the movie, "Expelled," makes a good point of this. If you have not seen this movie, I recommend it.

Until next time...
