TIA - My problem isn't with people who are doing science. Not at all. I applaud their efforts.

My problem is with chauvinistic but ill-informed individuals who simply hate religion on principle for some reason (generally due to some kind of negative experiences they've had with it...or just due to the fact that they're not themselves inclined to BE religious), and who insist on regarding it as the antithesis of science...but whose own knowledge of science is so fragmentary and incomplete that they don't have much business quoting it as their supposed authority.

It seems to me like the ignorant attacking the ignorant for being ignorant...or the pot calling the kettle black. ;-)

The people I am most impressed by are those who understand and respect and appreciate BOTH science AND spiritual philosophy and have found a way to integrate the two so that knowledge can be found through combining both of them.

And there are a good many such people. Instead of wasting their time trying to find the stupidest and most prejudiced people on the OTHER side of the supposed divide in order to justify their own prejudice, they are doing something productive by realizing that there IS no real divide between science and spirituality when you take them to the higher levels of understanding. That's the path of wisdom, seems to me.
