No, they aren’t. Especially when they are allowed to set the rules for what is and what isn’t “science.”

So who else but scientists should set the rules of how science is conducted?

I can't believe you are serious about wanting anti-science fundamentalists to have a say in how something they hate is conducted. Analogies would be criminals helping run the police departments and arsonists telling firefighters how to do their jobs.

Christians and creationists are not the least bit anti-science. Most of the scientific disciplines were founded by theists/deists.

What you fail to see is the difference between "operational science" [that which is leading to technological advances today], and "origins science" [which describes the origin of the universe, and life]. Evolution has nothing to do with the former, and everything to do with the latter...and in the latter, your conclusions are based upon assumptions of things that you can neither prove, nor disprove.
