Let us not turn science into a religion. Common sense goes a long way. The more politically controversial the topic, the less likely it is that science on it will be unbiased or valid at all. Religious organisations I don't even comment on.
- mjevans 10y agoActually, I'd prefer if science, the worship of knowledge and the quest for enlightenment, WERE a religion. That is, if it were recognized as a /belief system/ and had the same tax benefits that religious organizations have.
- gibbitz 10y agoI'm sure that those above who feel like the climate science that suggests man is contributing to global warming somehow benefits the government, would still suggest that the religious funding science gets is still clouding it's judgement. Funny that this never comes up when discussing the political agenda of Evangelicals...

Common sense: The sun circles us: it rises in the morning, and then sets in the evening. Science: Turns out you got that backwards. Common sense: Animals are the way they are, they don't change. Science: Actually they do. Common sense: Either this thing called "electron" passes this slit or that slit. Come on, they can't pass both slits at the same time, are you freaking kidding me? Science: Well, you're not gonna like this, but... Common sense, not even once.
