I am angry that so many accept the Judeo-christian god with no concern of whether his existance is an actual fact, and then go on to denigrate people who actually think and reason for thinking and reasoning.
I think her instincts are right. My guess is it's just a cultural phenomenon. It's hip to be militantly pro science. It's not I love science. It's I FUCKING love science!!!!!!! Whoever can get the most red faced in outrage over anything not fucking science is the best.
My favorite part of the I fucking love science movement, is how terrible almost all of them are at math. It is maybe my favorite thing. But that's a separate issue. Although it does reinforce that LOVING FUCKING SCIENCE isn't really about science, it's mostly just posturing for social status.
That's why a simple hypothetical that costs you nothing got everyone acting like morons. Imagine there's a God? NO FUCKING WAy MAN!!!! I LOVE SCIENCE TOO MUCH TO PRETEND SOMETHING NOT SCIENCE!!! DO YOU EVEN SCIENCE BRO!!!
That's just how it looks to me, though, as an uninvested 3rd party.
