I feel that science should be unimpeded by such stupidity.
You seem to feel that anyone with any belief can stop the progress of science in the name of being tolerant of others' beliefs.
i.e., ergo, therefore, thus 'n' such, ipso facto, you are wrong.
kickyan,
First of all, it is stupidity to you, not to me or millions of others that hold the same belief. Just as anyone that has a belief system might think someone stupid who does not hold a belief system. I just don't prefer to think people are stupid because they are believers or not.
I do not feel that anyone with any belief can stop the progress of science in the name of being tolerant of others' beliefs. That is not what I am saying at all.
I am merely telling you how I view this particular topic. I'm not out on the streetcorners with signs screaming at people to stop Stem Cell Research, Stop Abortions, anything.
kickycan, the extent of my involvement is I discuss it in here and I may talk to friends about it. When I have the opportunity to vote my conscience, I do so.
So, I'm just exercising my rights just as you are exercising yours. I don't think you are stupid for believing the way you do, kickycan. Those believes, views, opinions, etc. are obviously important to you.
It's just a matter of differing opinions and views. Just like with any issue, topic, etc. There will be those for it, those against it, and those sitting on the fence. That's pretty much the way life is. :wink:
