<<So, you think that the science tells us all we need to know? That somehow acknowledging the science magically resolves the problem? Science as magic. Or is it magic as science? Hmmmm.>> No I don't think any of those things. You are putting words in my mouth. I have great respect for science because it has liberated us from a the world of myth we lived in heretofore becasu eit verifies things e.g. the earth is NOT at the center of the universe, blood letting is NOT a good medical process and our existence is NOT the result of some god, but rather evolution. We now know we evolved from primates which is explained through evolution, archaeology and DNA. Facts. As I said in the beginning. We each live in another world. You have one perception of the world and I have another. So we talk right past each other. Over the years I have almost never seen conservatives convince liberals or vice versa. So debates just devolve into arguments and that is just a waste of time. I don't know the answer for the two populations to get together. Look at the Republcians the last two years. They voted en masse against everything the dems wanted to do. No one was moving to the other sides point of view. The Republicans (conservatives) blocked DADT being lifted in the military 100% in the senate. They pretty much did the same thing in the 64 civil rights act. Well, I and almost all liberals consider both segregation and gay bashing pure bigotry. Conservatives don't see it that way and are hard to convince.
