It sounds as though you are a bigot your-self!

Science did not produce freedoms and human rights as mentioned in our constitutions. It was produced from the moral and religious convictions of a majority who were in consensus regarding Judeo Christian beliefs and values. Our "creator" has "endowed" us with rights, not the sciences!


Indeed, without a prevailing sense of Judeo Christian morality in Western Societies from the middle ages to the early 20th century, the modern sciences that have given us so much would never developed.

Science and scientific Lysenko type politicians(who try to use science to destroy Christian influence in America) need to remember that modern science was rooted early in western Judeo Christian consensus and science practitioners run the risk of loss of inspiration....like a river cut off from its source...or a nose cut off to spite one's face!

Science has never created a Bill of Rights; only an A priori
thirst for liberty in the American soul has done so...a thirst that can never be measured, objectively quantified and studied with rigid methodology. The American system is based on true Tautology, a nonfalsifiable arguement in which it is believed that Almighty God rules the affairs of men...raising some nations up while pulling others down!

So I ask you...who are the true bigots?

I don't think Christianity and faith have anything to do with India's bid for superiority in physics and America's tepid, bipartisan response. There is a fundamentalist Hindu belief that India has been blessed with the potential for scientific and mathematical superiority. Faith can move mountains when it helps human beings to achieve their true potential. Besides, I see false dichotomies in both the argument that Christians can't be good scientists (or support exceptionally high quality science) and biological theories of species origin having any relation to God's existence or not. The Victorians started losing their faith when they started buying into the theory of evolution. That may say more about the depth of their faith than anything else.
