Abstract thought is the enemy.
Yes, abstract thought is the devil's tool. Oops, that was an abstract thought. And so was that...and ... Oh no, I'm caught in a metaphysical dilemma. But that was an abstract thought too... I need to stop thinking abstractly...oops, did it again... I can't stop.
Abstract thought isn't the enemy. Pretending that abstract thought is 'science' is a gross error, however. It is required for belief in 'evolution as science' and is therefore a gross error in that context.
No need to give up abstract thought entirely. Just recognize that it isn't science.
That shouldn't be too terribly difficult.
