First of all, I feel like I need to highlight the immense hypocrisy of you dismissing what I say as an opinion and asking for evidence, while earlier you were defending your case with little more than assertions with no objective evidence of your own. So which is it Bob? Do we need objective evidence for our assertions, or not? You can't ask it of others while refusing to present any of your own.
But since I do actually appreciate the need for evidence, even if you're only willing to consider it necessary when views you disagree with are aired, here: religiously motivated censorship of science standards for education, religiously motivated lawsuit stunting science education standards, religious groups smearing basic scientific concepts due to ideological disagreement, religion causes people to reject established scientific facts and to hold their belief in spite of the evidence, and scientific literacy decreases scaling with the fervency and strength of religious belief.
Now, since I've shown you mine, how about you show me yours? Where's this objective evidence detailing the existence of god outside of the universe, where he creates physical laws?
Quote:If religion does attempt to stunt science, then objectively it is failing miserably, as the stats I posted above attest to.
Once again, "religion stunts science," and "there are no religious scientists," are two different claims, of which your stats address the second, not the first, which is the claim under discussion, and which I already rebutted in the post you're responding to here. Are you even reading my posts before you respond?
