The fact is, your people...
I am not a "you people" I am a freeper and have been for a long time.
...are seizing upon this issue to belittle and insult believers in God...
No. I do not belittle and insult Christians just for being Christians. I do not mock faith. I have long argued that faith and science are not in conflict. I have traded barbs with those people who call me an idolater, a nazi, etc. A lot of those kinds of people, frankly, don't belong in polite company. That's what I've been trying to tell you: you have more than just a few nuts.
...and to use so-called "apolitical science" as a means to deprive us of the truths we hold to be self-evident, ie, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We're back to the Goldwater quote I posted upthread. The men and women who "strive to cure disease, subdue and make fruitful our natural environment" have done nothing of the sort. People who study evolutionary science help make the flu shots every year. People who study micropaleontology help find oil to keep the country running. The "inventive engines of production, science, and technology" add to our lives, liberty, and happiness in measurable ways every day, and have made this nation the envy of the world.
Well, I'm very happy for you.
