Look, Jim, I’m curious - what are we arguing about here? We could debate details for days – but why?… What are you really arguing for – and what are you arguing against?

Personally, I believe science today has been hijacked by atheism (materialism) and I am OK with science keeping an agnostic stance (open to evidence).

I will readily agree that some scientists like Richard Dawkins are, what I call evangelical atheists. However, even some of them are capable of good science. At the same time, a lot of blanks are being filled in in biology, geology and paleontology. I hate to see all science discounted and ridiculed. Most of the shaky science is in the soft sciences like psychology and sociology. Other areas like global warming heavily use statistics and measurements which can be manipulated for money or ideology. A conclusion today can be found false tomorrow. Also, mistakes are distressingly common. But just a an addition error doesn’t disprove math bad studies will eventually be corrected. You just hope too much damage isn’t done in the meantime as was the case in what I call nazi evolution including M. Sanger.
