it is that religious people direct their critical questioning in a different direction from yours.


BULLSHIT. A critical question is directable at any thing at any time. That's science. NOT 'chucky's particular view of the world'. You must have no clue what science really is about. For religios people to be critical in their questions, they have to direct critical questions anywhere - even at their own religion, and ESPECIALLY at the tenents that uphold it.
Science does exactly that - because that is the definition of science: does the hypothesis hold up to critical questioning.

Bill Hyland, you have demonstrated an utter lack of understanding what a critical question is.


Susan, you might want to go over that, too, because 'faith' belies a 'sacred truth'. Right? A belief that something is true. Science has NOTHING TO DO AT ALL WITH BELIEF. NOTHING. NOTHING. get it? Science is concerned with the opposite of faith - PROOF.


When we see people asserting and insisting that faith is a part of science, it is an indication that those people are trying to subvert the 'respect' science has in being far more correct than any other system at interpreting reality. How else could religion stnad? A great way to protect it is claim that it has a shared validity with science. Faith is NOT part of science. Don't let people like Susan or Troy fool you into erroneous thinking.
