dhw: but it's far more difficult to expose the falseness of religious fundamentalism (if indeed it is false, since nobody knows the mind of God, if he exists). However, that's no excuse for the culprits. -Plucked out of a long discussion from the picket fence (if....if...if...if...), but there is a different point to make. Religious fundamentalism definitely leads some people to declare their religion is better than any other one, which ib turn has led to wars, bigotry, discrimnination, etc. I wonder how much fundamentalism exists in 'my science is better than your science' as shown in biased peer review. I don't know if it all seems worse now that society is more complex, more interdependent, more politically contrived (global warming) or is really that way. I know, being older, every old person says things were simpler when I was a kid. Just musing
