Religious folks, and I include my self among them though I am undoubtedly a sinner trying to do better :-}, are not anti science but they do have a trust problem with some scientists.

The Missouri constitutional amendment is a case in point. Those steeped in scientism portray that amendment to us rubes as "stem cell research" implying that those opposed to the amendment are anti science and bad Christians because we want to see Michael Fox suffer. Both are nonsense.

What the amendment actually does is enshrine cloning in the the Missouri Constitution and at the same time takes a nice shot at our republican form of government in that it forbids legislators in Missouri from directing what funds can be spent where.

RR said trust but verify. I say that anytime you are condescended to in the manner that the followers of scientism are condescending to the voters of Missouri there is no reason to trust that group of people ever again. No need to verify that at all.
