<And I explained that I'm interested in the popular conception of science, not just your take on it. >
Of course, but then again, be aware that "science" isn't some black helicopter crowd looking to manipulate anyone. That's all, both you and Greg or e insinuated such, that there was some sort of "scientific community" that had an aethiest agenda.
Again, that all or perhaps most scientists aren't part of an atheist groupthink movement doesn't mean that that element doesn't exist.
I exchanged a series of letters with a former head of scientific advisor to the President after he moved to Rice U and authored an editorial attacking ID. I never got a good answer, nor have I from anyone, as to why people like him, and organizations like AAAS and the National Science Foundation spend a good bit of effort attacking ID but NEVER say a contrary word about the work of folks like Dawkins, Dennett, Coyne, Shermer, Eugenie Scott, etc. |
