"What does that have to do with logic? If you can't put biases aside to look at logic, you have no business talking about what science is or is not."

So, the only true knowledge is that as defined by those who practice 'science', and I have no business talking about it? Interesting claim. Are you a leftist science teacher?

But what if you learn things in ways that have nothing to do with logic? For example, your wedding day and wedding night; no scientist on earth is going to be able to be logical with you in such a way that you are 'logically' prepared for what you will experience.

Or, for example, the day you watch your daughter being born. I could go on. Revelations have little to do with logic.

The high priests of the religion, and don't question them, as you will be questioning dogma, which must be defended, at all costs, by the faithful

Now you've misstated my claim. People from any profession can think scientifically. It's a matter of understanding the scientific process and being willing to follow it where it leads you. So don't do any science if you're afraid of what you might find out!

That you for proving my point. Moron.

no scientist on earth is going to be able to be logical with you in such a way that you are 'logically' prepared for what you will experience

So the fact that we have emotions that are not governed by logic is reason enough to throw out Science? Give me a break. Science puts emotions and biases in their place, it doesn't deny their existence! They are to be understood and overcome.
