MOMMY!
Please try to understand.
This is the same mistake in use of logic that allows liberal theists to ignore the fact that both liberals and conservatives are using the same books to come to different conclusions.
I am saying that liberals are making a mistake which allows conservatives to do even worse with their logic. There simply is no good way for anyone to treat the two as equal or separate but equal. Liberals DO allow that cover for bad logic which makes an excuse for a watered down theism which is more civil, but also at the same time gives cover to worse crap like creationism and ID or whichever religion is trying to co opt science.
Read the book.
I just don't see where liberals are "splitting the baby" between science and religion. Do we have an example of liberal ideals that specifically equate religion and science?
