Thread Name: BS: The Atheist Delusion
Subject: RE: BS: The Atheist Delusion
There seems to be some here who make underlying suggestions that many, most, if not all, those who believe in a God try to control science in some way or another. Is there evidence to back that up? I suspect most people who believe in a God do no such thing. It is also reasonable that most who have a belief in a God also have a capacity to understand and support science at the same time. Stating the contrary seems to be a red herring often put forward by some in attempts to "belittle" a belief in a God. Yes, there are religious organizations and extremists who have tried to control science in the past, as there are likely some, though much less so, today. But, that does not mean that most who believe in a God are part of or support such nonsense.
