You label ideas, then vilify them. No, it’s not humanism.

500 years ago, you would have referred to my position in support of heliocentrism as humanism, and then you would have burned me at the stake. The bad news is that your faith remains as weak today. The good news is that you’re out of matches.

The one thing science always adheres to is pragmatism. Any idea that can be tested is useful, and any idea that limits the questions that can be asked is useless.

The idea that an unspecified agent having unspecified capabilities did some unspecified something at unspecified times and places for unspecified reasons, pretty much puts an end to inquiry.

The idea that processes and phenomena are the same from era to era at least leads to testable conjectures.

None of that is true. Give me a break.

When all else fails, accuse the creationists of wanting to burn scientists at the stake.

Oh, give it up already.....

And grow up.
