Nah, not that interesting, too me anyways. Seen it too many times. I guess since not that much political stuff isn't going on, people have to rant about something.:p But, I have seen inprovement, there have not been that many flamewars lately, so that is a good step.:yes:

Actually this isn't your standard science vs religion thread. It's more like a help the religious understand what science is thread so that next time there is a debate at least the religious people understand why claiming that evolution is just a theory doesn't work as an argument. :D

There are no truths in science.

That probably is the cornerstone to the science versus religion debate.

Science is about skepticism, relgion about belief.

That being said, scientists are people too, prone to dogma.

Read Thomas R. Kuhn's "The Structure of Scientific Revloutions" for more insight into the subject ;)
