####I believe you ARE for censoring science. Censorship is not only the removal of information; it also includes selectively distorting information.####

Well, I disagree! I really don't think we're that far apart. How would anything I have proposed distort scientific information?


####Oh, and a scientific theory is never a fact. None of them are.####

Agreed!

We're almost there! Okay, my comment about distorting information is really about the folks who want to discredit the theory of evolution. If you are not in that camp, then I apologize.

My issue with the stickers still stands however. Many of us who have faith aren't at odds with science. It's unfortunate but a historical fact that many agenda-driven forces have attacked science, sometimes religious in nature, sometimes otherwise. But the scientific community has a great track record (far better than, say, the political community), and I trust them to make corrections whenever presented with verifiable and peer-validated evidence.

If the small-but-vocal minority of fundamentalists would stop attacking evolution, it would no longer be available to anti-religious groups for pummeling religion. And the sooner that happens, the better off we'll ALL be.
