Because science is based on a philosophy – methodological naturalism – it shall not enjoy a special status on the Religion Forum as compared to other things likewise based on a philosophy or theology.

Fine. But that is exactly why science shouldn't be in the religion forum. It's not a religion and it can't be treated as if it were. This is why we have a religion forum -- for religious issues. And that's why we have forums other than the religion forum. That's why I post science news threads in the news forum. I just did another, this morning: Meet the Earliest Baby Girl ever Discovered! It's news, and I think it belongs in the news forum.

Freepers can -- and do -- post articles from creationist websites about what science means to their faith. That's entirely appropriate material in the religion forum (in my always humble opinion). But outside of this forum, a thread about science shouldn't be subject to theological constraints.

If they don't get it, they don't get it.

But it's funny how they think they could somehow recognize "truth" when they have stopped looking for it.
