I am alarmed at the scientific illiteracy, arrogance, ignorance and denial from the religious set. With so many thinking from within an insular bubble of ignorance and bigotry, particularly from within the USA, it is a grave threat to world peace. The nightly news makes this clear.
Appart from peace and tollerance, religion, particularly fundy christianity, also threatens the aquisition of knowledge, and attempts to shut down this pursuit with lies, misrepresentaion, and dishonesty.
I think sewing the seed of thought is the best any scientifically literate person could hope to achieve against such a fiercly ignorant and dangerous secular belief system.
I have been forwarding corrections and clarifications of scientific terms and principles, and although they are immediantely denied, it nevertheless offers the "correct" interpretation of science, so that the "enemy" of religious ignorance may be at least represented properly and correctly..
Will you continue to do this too?
