I'm intrigued.......
I cannot imagine what he might have discovered that would help the environment but conflict with a religious belief.....
Personally..... anything anyone can do to put a lid on this rampant religious fanaticism strangling the worlds population would be a pretty good thing right about now.

I too am intrigued by a discovery that could benefit our environment but conflict with religious beliefs...and by those I mean the ones in the Bible and not dogma.
Sure, I can think of a few health type scenarios, but none for environment. So come on and give us one to chew on and see if we all thumb you down and tattle on you.

The environment is real. Religious beliefs are nonsense. With in excess of 90% of reputable scientists not believing in god, it's not likely we would get one that's conflicted.

Absolutely not.
The creation story makes it clear that God desires chaos be brought into submission to order.
The same story instructs us that the physical earth/life is created good.
Leviticus has primitive sanitary laws developed as science and quite challenging at the time. Science is a fruit of thinking, itself a gift from God. Religion - another gift - is a gift for justice and morality. Faith holds the two together under a loving God.

If you study science, just about every discovery conflicts religious beliefs.

Like what religious beliefs? Church of the Latter-day Loggers? I can't speak for others, but I certainly don't hold any environment-harming religious beliefs.

Of course not, and it shouldn't conflict with religion, unless you are talking about the wrong religion; God is the master scientist.

Well, the most important thing about religion is god and if the scientist find something is because God let him do it so he should tell the discover.

NO! If Copernicus stayed quiet about the sun being the centre of the solar system, would you think that was the right decision?

HELL NO!
if it could help the environment why should we keep it quiet? the christians dont care about the environment. theyre going to pollute it with no regard because its okay to...theyre not going to be around for the consequences.....they think theyll be in heaven before the earth is incapable of supporting life.
we shouldnt stop technological and scientific advances because of uneducated people and their cherrished idiotic beleif systems. we should plow through them.
