re: #188 Thanos

Ok for this post and others. I am not part of the Discovery Institute and I do think they are just as bad as those on the other side who would incorrectly use science in the same manner to push an agenda.

Everyone is entitled to their own belief. It is my observation that religion or belief is formed by someone pushing fact into a broader opinion. One simple example is the push in the past that the universe was never formed in one single event. This lead to all kinds of marginalizing of scientist who came up with a different conclusion.

It is that effect that is the problem and I think both science and faith would be best served by Faith sticking to faith issues and science should stick to hard fact and well supported theory. It is when theories are accepted as fact without solid empirical evidence, that science suffers and so does the progress of man.
