Steve Shaw says: When I think about it, I get far more worked up about people who attack honest science in these threads than about those who attack atheism.

Once again: how can I disagree with that?


Then again, I don't think there have been any serious attacks against atheists here at Mudcat. Every once in a while, someone will launch a timid defense of "creationism" or "intelligent design," But there really haven't been any outright attacks on atheism.

So, it would be nice to dispense with the atheist-theist animosity here altogether, since nobody really needs to feel threatened.

As for me, my religious beliefs and practices have to coincide with what Steve calls "honest science." If it's generally accepted within the scientific community, I most likely accept it also.
