> Call it what you like. It exists, and it's a problem. Yes, people who don't understand science is a problem. But that doesn't conflate religion and science. Call it whatever you like, but belief is not science. Were this not true, you could argue that, because murders are committed, therefore laws against murder serve no purpose. But in fact, the opposite is the rational conclusion. > You're just nitpicking over terminology now. Yes, nitpicking about the difference between science and religion, as though they're interchangeable. In religion, something is true because you believe it. In science, something is probable solely to the degree that it's supported by empirical evidence. There are no two words with more disparate meanings.
