Quote:Though I think "faith or science" is a false dichotomy,
Bollocks.
Faith and science are innately incompatible. Faith is based on authority. Science is evidence based. EG There are still many thousands of Christians who remain so ignorant and bloody minded that they still argue young earth creationism. The Catholic Church forbids stem cell research and in vitrio fertilisation.
Traditionally, Christians have killed or imprisoned anyone who challenged dogma,including scientists. Today they mainly demonise or excommunicate people who have the audacity to challenge dogma,especially scientists, as they have always done.
