While there is definitely a spiritual motivator for scientists to pursue the truth of nature it can sure be subordinated to the 3F's at any given time.
I sure wouldn't put my faith in any animal so stupid and so easily corrupted. But go ahead and place your faith in scientists, they like it, it inFlates their egos, keeps them Fed, and if you bend over....
The title of this thread is Most Republicans Reject Evolution
But why stop there. We can follow your lead and reject all of science!
(What color did you paint your cave?)
I am a scientist dipsh_t.
All good scientists are skeptics and not full of themselves. We use theories until they break, but we are ready for most any of them to break at any time. I like it when they break!
In fact, in cosmology we are desperate for a new intuitive leap that will let us throw away so much of the crap we keep playing with now. Its cumbersome, ugly (full of squigglies), full of patches and cartoon-like simplifying assumptions...and disagreements, incoherences, inconsitenticies...
nature is beautiful, science is ugly.
BTW: Most Republicans don't have a clue about evolution but to their credit they aren't about to sit back and let some self-inflated, anti-Christian scientist, who doesn't understand it himself, shove it down their throat and call them an idiot if they don't swallow..
Do you swallow?
Their rejection of evolution is healthier and far better than some liberal idiots sitting around smoking pot and pretending he knows what the heck evolution is and believes in it instead of the Bible when he also doesn't have a clue what the Bible says.
Modern liberals are pretentious suckers. Blow smoke up their wide asses and tell them that it is the odor of enlightenment and they will thank you and run around wafting it in everybodies face.
Ah, yes, here you go again with the Dem Central technique.
