religion, why then do a reasonable percentage of
scientists hold religious personal views? Is it just
for the church dating scene?
What a ridiculous premise for a discussion. Obviously if a large number
of scientists hold religious personal views, then there can't be much of
a conflict (unless all scientists with religious views are schizophrenic).
People who frame science and religion at each other's throats are either
uninformed on the subject, or deceitfully trying to manipulate opinion.
