>>More often than not it's a scientist and a religious person talking, and is a waste of time for both.<< At least two implications here are anti-intellectual -- 1) Science is at odds with religion -- or religion is always at odds with science 2) Religious people are generally less intelligent and dubious of scientific claims 3) Scientific truths are somehow more objective The funny thing is how many people who disdain the religious -- thinking them to be anti-intellectual -- and then they will accept uncritically something that is proclaimed to be "scientific" just as long as enough "scientists" agree. Nevermind that they don't understand the science, or think it is too much for them to analyze evidence and decide whether an assertion is strongly supported by the evidence or not. Government sponsored scientists are the new "priests" of the day. Anyone who questions "their interpretation" is resisting the church of "we know better than you what is really good for you."
