> What a bizarre sort of bigotry to spout. I'm not sure how you'd get that from my original comment. But rereading it today, I realize I wasn't very clear. I apologise for that. Let me restate it more explicitly: 1. To be done well, science and engineering require careful thought and, to a certain extent, sound reasoning. 2. Some people holding world view "A" consider the holding of world view "B" to be intellectually indefensible, for many values of "A" and "B". 3. And yet we have plenty of empirical evidence that good science and engineering work is being done across all of those world-view-holding groups. As far as why this particular article made me thing of this issue, it's because Mormons are sometimes ridiculed in (at least) U.S. popular culture for holding an intellectually indefensible world view.
