Defeater of Illogic
Who said that I am anti science? I am anti the worship of science as some kind of lofty, infallible, answer-to-every-human-problem endeavour.
I'm not aware of anyone who is presenting it as such.
You know full well that most of the pioneers of science were believers.
This seems to be argument from authority - these people got science right, so they must have got other things right as well, therefore their religious views were right.
I was taught the "science as god" idea in the 1950's.
That was 70 years ago.
Yes, some good has come out of it and that's fine.
I think science is responsible for more than just "some" good...
At the same time, Darwinism gave rise to extreme racism and was the basis for Hitler's attempt to exterminate all that was not Aryan.
Let's not forget that there is nothing in Darwin's ideas that supports that kind of social Darwinism.
Let's not forget the shameful period of slavery, and later the Klu Klux Klan, that blighted US culture.
What does that have to do with science? Very often, the Bible has been used to support harsh treatment of groups like that, not science.
