Are Religious Nut Cases Really Entitled to a Scientific Opinion? WTF

 

Author: Lance Winslow

Often some one with religious beliefs which are very strong will enter the scientific research field and upon every experiment will insist that whatever the results they cannot conflict with the belief of their god? Recently one such nut case linear thinking human came to an online think tank claiming that man was made in gods image and her experiment would prove once and for all that man was different and divine from all other animals. She states;

Everyone is free and entitled to there own opinions, truths and beliefs without discrimination. Does that make them hypocrites, arrogant or fanatics?

I disagree, as if one adopts beliefs in contrary to observation, reality and research then humans generally use such terms as hypocrite, arrogant and fanatics. Indeed that is why these terms exist. In fact if you deny all the facts and still come up with a conclusion, which is 180 degrees out, you are wrong. And that would generally be due to being fanatical [dictionary definition], arrogant [personal trait allowing such] or a hypocrite [in this case claiming science and ignoring all collected data, facts and observations].

The religious nut case religious doctrine follower then stated; I have stated my position and a simple explanation on why I feel this way towards the presentation of a genetic comparison as scientific evidence that humans are similar to humans. I have ample reason to feel this way and until I am convinced otherwise this is my position on that matter. I can say this without prejudice towards you or any other person who feels differently. More or less

This did not sit well with one of the other think tank members in the online think tank who stated; NO, that is incorrect. In that number one you have stated previously that your research has nothing to do with how you feel only scientific methods and research. Of which you have produced NONE. Only talk about scientific method, never one piece or shred of evidence. And in all your comments you have been unable to refute the evidence other than quick little trivial condemnations. Anyone can do that.

And continued; What I am saying is your position on the matter is IRRELEVANT as it is incorrect. How you feel about it is even more IRRELEVANT. If you feel un-convinced without further evidence, yet do so without reading any of the evidence I have presented then that is a personal problem and a problem of your person, which you will need to deal with. How you feel about me is IRRELEVANT. You are wrong. Unless you can refute the findings off all these top researchers presented and their 1000s of references and/or know something that the top DNA researchers didnt know and explain away all the research that backs up what I have said, along with the DNA proof, then you are blowing spit wads in the wind. And well, I just really wish you would do it somewhere else really.

And continued some more; You state everyone is entitled to their opinion? Sure they are and free speech, but do not claim to be researcher, scientist or seeker of truth if you deny what is right before your eyes. If you have proof then bring it on. But stop playing games.

Wow, you know after reading all this debate it is a wonder that we do not immediately dismiss all religious followers from all research and scientific work. As this seems to be the only way we can indeed protect the integrity of the forward progression of the species and propel meaningful scientific study. Consider all this 2006.
