My dogtag said "no pref". If it came to that point, anyone could bless the mess as far as I was concerned. It came pretty close to that once..
Methinks a large percentage of those who mention science as their reason for abandoning religion could not pass a freshman level “Physics for Poets” course, let along a real STEM course.
And as an aside, a 100 % guarantee of science stupidity is provided by those who object to the “man” in “freshman”.
While I substantively agree with Brown in this and other articles, I will post this caveat:
Truth does not equal science; science does not equal truth.
Science is merely a methodology, a mechanism, a tool. It is not a god, much less the God.
Elsewhere, Brown recently cited the two Johns-Hopkins psychiatric experts who asserted a lack of scientific evidence to validate the concepts of sexual orientation or gender identity.
So what? Next year, some other so-called experts may interpret selected data to produce the opposite conclusion.
Science is done by human beings, and human beings are faddish and fickle. If you rely on so-called scientists to prove your faith, then you will be cheated.
The heavens declare the glory of God - whether or not scholars and experts do.
