  Religion has always had a problem with science when it has produced claims that contradict religious dogma. Just look at how Galileo was persecuted for suggesting that the Earth rotates around the sun. I don't hear a lot of you challenging that idea, but I bet if you lived in the 17th century you would have been.

  The fact is that religion has a deeply emotional pull over people, and it's kind of ridiculous to act like that wouldn't influences your attitudes towards things like the nature of the universe. If you are taught something since childhood, it will probably deeply bias you in some way, right?

  • Yes true. Same can be said for the opposite "scientific" view of the world. Everyone is biased to some degree.designbot
  • true science is NEVER biased.spifflink
  • if you think it is, then you have a gross misunderstanding of the scientific method.spifflink
