When does science=religion?
If science=ideas based on observable fact
&
religion=ideas that must be taken on faith
then
Where does a system that tells me that I must accept that they know the temperature at the center of the sun, the mass of the universe, even the exact rotational speed of the core of the earth without any direct observation of these items? Would that not be a religion with ‘scientists’ as its priests?

Now, I believe 99% of what scientists say, but I also know how many research dollars are at stake when it comes to maintaining the current paradigm of reality, even in biology.

Should creationism be taught, NO WAY. But should science be regarded as separate and better than religion? Let me ask you this…Wasn’t it the scientists who said the world was flat until they had more evidence? Isn’t science merely the religion of current beliefs until new evidence comes to light?

Where do we draw the line between what we can and cannot question in science. I don’t know. But I’d rather deal with the silly debates like creationism than quash all questioning of the current paradigm.

Let there be scientific heretics, aren’t they usually the ones who make the greatest discoveries?
