The pope - when still just a guy named Ratzinger - tipped his hand when he repeated the phrase ‘we look to religion for the why, and science for the how’.

The greatest threat to science isn’t from conventional churches or intelligent design supporting school boards. It is from scientists who whore themselves out for grant money, hype evidence for their position while sabotaging opposing views. We see a lot of this now in the AGW ‘debate’, which has long since stopped being a debate. It is a religion with its own prophets and orthodoxy.
