- The foundations of (biological) science (evolution) are under attack by advocates of 'belief' systems. No they aren't. 90% of religious people have no objection to science. The two areas of study to them are not contradictory. Just because there is a vocal minority, specifically in the US, doesn't mean the world is ending. Your examples don't really support your claims. The MMR vaccine is based on faulty science, not religious belief. If anyone actually cared about the pope's opinions on sex, I'd give a damn. (Although, we should be questioning the increase of estrogen in our environment, from not just the pill but from plastics and all sorts of stuff) Being skeptical and religious have nothing to do with one another. This is most certainly true if the religion in question isn't Christianity.
