Subject: RE: BS: Young Earth Creationism Eureka!
The reason that religion might be inimical to science, whether Darwin or otherwise,
is that historically religion has always, because of its authoritarian tendencies, held
science back as it is doing today. Do we need evidence about the replay of the Scopes Trial? Religion doesn't explore science but makes pronouncements about it, that science is incapable of investigating religion, and that NOMA, no overlapping magisteria must prevail. This isn't true.

If religious people really trust science, then they should have no objection to having their faiths and beliefs
tested by it.
