Science is Good

[jpm (Phil McCurdy)]

You have said this same message multiple times. what do you suggest? do you think it is a non-issue and should be ignored, or do you agree that the perception of science in the public eye is problematic but needs to be addressed in another way? If so, what is the way forward?

The problem has only gotten worse in the last 8 years by some significant factor. You guys trying to help the poor, unwashed masses understand just how pure and holy is the scientific enterprise, you align yourselves with the problem, not the solution.

I think that is a little unfair. BioLogos shows faour to science and encourages both dialogue and acceptance but there coms a point where the compatability fails.

Science is often portrayed as the ultimate truth and beyond reproach. Religion is seen as subjective and therefore someow inferiror.

Everyone knows that scientce cannot see God but does that mean it has the right to walk all over peole who can?

There has to be some give and take in any relationship but it seems, to me at least, that science takes but refuses to concede. How many times have I been criticised for not accepting ToE as science dictates (sorry theorises)?

It is one thing to acknowledge a blindness, it is another to asume that blindness is irrelevant.

Even if there is a problem, the solution is not the skepticism and story line you are peddling. What is needed is greater general public literacy in science so people actually have some understanding of the capabilities and limitations of science as a means of determining truth about nature. Good luck with that. What you have is a nation where half the people think metric is a communist plot, let alone covid.
