Scientists do our own thing in our own venue. We are happy to do so. You don’t see Scientists insisting that they teach platetechtonics in Sunday School do you? Do Scientists come up with “wedge” strategies to try to overthrow the philosophical underpinnings of theology? No.

We Scientists do Science, and we like to keep Science separate from the E-meter crowd and the I.D. nonsense.

Ooops. Can't go labeling it as nonsense just because it doesn't fit inside your little box.

Science is a subset of reality. It deals with the physical, material world. It does not concern itself with anything outside that, which is labeled by those within the box as *supernatural*.

We who deal with all of reality, can look into the subset and see if it's correct or not and if it's consistent within itself, because it also exists as part of the whole of reality; it is a subset of our reality.

Those locked within the subset cannot make any determinations about anything outside that subset because it is not part of their reality. While they may know a lot about what reality they deal with, they know squat about anything outside of that because of their self-imposed ignorance.

Therefore, since they know nothing about anything that is outside their segment of reality, they can't say it's wrong, or not true, or not real, or for that matter, pass any form of judgment on it at all.

The absolute best they can do is state that it doesn't fit in with what they know and doesn't make sense in their world.
