<science that which is not science>

It is difficult matter since the voting population can't discern what is and isn't a scientific theory. Just because someone proposes a theory doesn't mean it is a SCIENTIFIC theory. That is crux and members of the public rarely have the patience to learn what is at issue.

If their theory isn't scientific, people tend to take that personally. It isn't - it is about what is and isn't science. Not what is or isn't valid, or is and isn't open to discussion in general, but only what is open to discuss in Science.

It muddles the issue when it is assumed that when something won't be taught that the basis for rejection is a bias against religion, or that theory, when in actuality it is about keeping science scientific.
