tony: I hope that gives some context to my arguments here. Science, even evolution, is not particularly contrary to my faith, so I have no reason to be antagonistic to it on those grounds. Rather, I am just tired of seeing bad science. I'm tired of them taking speculation as scientific fact. I'm tired of them ignoring evidence that doesn't fit their theories. I've come across numerous instances where this has happened at the expense of their peers, reaching out and crushing their careers to save their theories.-You are describing incompetent, immoral people. Perhaps that is why the sciences are populated with so many atheists; no basis in ethical living. And you are describing deliberate incompetent thought. Medicine is somewhat different, at least at the practice level: folks might have a good background of training but can't think their way out of a paper bag. I know of one instance when the professors spotted that in one of the fellows in my internship group. They talked him into going into research instead of practice, and he made a wonderful research scientist. Considering how this country has changed, I doubt that can be done now. I am thinking of the grade creep, every one is marvelous fallacy, no competition environment caused by all the liberals who run establishment education. I suspect that you and I are very similar in our philosophy of life.
