But how can you trust them when they betray their own principals in their alliance with the post-modern fundies? Do they even really believe in those modern rationalistic principals if they worship the earth and refuse say a word against the demands of "indigenous" activists when the latter attack science and rationality itself?
Something very funny is going on here.
I don't think it anything funny, it's just they operate in two different worlds. How much interplay is there between (say) an Astro Physicist and a professor of French literature? Not much I'd say.
