See, I fight and I fight agains the urge to use Taliban comparisons here, and then Gore3000 posts something like this.
I consider creationists the single biggest impediment to conservatism on campus. A lot of scientists, engineers, and MDs are inherently conservative. But when I try to get them involved with organizations like NAS (which, AFAIK, has no position on evolution) they come back at me with attempts by creationsts to get 'equal time' in school, and ask 'how can you associate with fruitcakes like that?'. And I have to mumble it 's one issue from a large number of issues. But to a scientist, it's a very important issue. It betrays a rejection of the way we work.
As usual, the materialists have things backwards - and if you were in medicine you would not be saying that belief in God prevents one from practicing medicine.
Now you're simply fabricating again. My brother, BTW, a far more devout Catholic than I, is an MD. I can say a belief in God should prevent you from putting words in other people's mouths, but it apparently doesn't. That's a shame.
Are they fruitcakes? While I don't have the vaguest idea of what NAS's agenda is, the fact that they have an agenda at all seems to me to be enough to disqualify them as a scientific organization. Science has no ideology. It is a search for truth and any organization with any kind of ideology is ipso factp non-scientific. Science and religious belief have never been opposites. In fact, many scientists have seen their religious beliefs reinforced by their scientific discoveries. You therefore are an ideologue and not a scientist. You do not care about truth, you only care about your ideology, your agenda. That is not what the scientific spirit is about.
