A Si Fi watchmaker.

[AFTT47]

Certainly scientists have to "imagine" but that doesn't give laypeople outside that level to twist metaphor and words to suit their own fantasies.


Scientists at that level have a hard enough time without the rest of us polluting what they say with our own personal fantasies. The have enough competing claims without the general public poisoning it with god claims or si fi woo.

Can anyone else picture Brian driving around in some kind of elaborate vehicle like Ecto 1 from Ghost Busters, blasting anyone who dares speak the woo?

How about demonstrating, Fred Phelps style, outside Comicon?

Brian, YOU obviously have a personal fantasy: Purging the general population of all unscientific thought. It's insane and it's sad that you can't see that. Think about it: A group of hard-core atheists think you're nuts. How do you think your crusade would be received by the masses?

You want to do something positive to make the world more logical? Focus on what is PRACTICAL. Oppose creationists trying to push their crap into schools. Oppose the religious right trying to proselytize in schools. There is a ton of work to be done there. Charging around trying to silence the dreaded sci-fi fans is a fool's errand.
