nightcrawler heard from Curt about Re: Interesting take on S on 12-23-09
nc, what you are not understanding here is that a one-sided stance on anything
- coupled with a predetermined stance that any other way of thinking is utterly
rubbish - leads to a bad end. I don't care if it's the vatican saying that the
earth is the center of the universe or a skeptic scientist proclaiming that
faith is irrational and that religon is a straight jacket needed only by the
idiot masses.
Both are equally wrong and both are unable to accept correction and both are
therefore more likely to be intelectaually dishonet with themselves because they
are now invested in the wrongness of the "other side". Both feel threatened.
Both will tend to hold onto false ideas simply because it might mean that the
other camp is right.
Are you starting to see what you and the vatican have in common?

You asked for an example and I gave you a damned good one. Do I need to find
some idiotic dogmatic quote from Dawkins himself? That won't be tough.

Can you give examples.[snip]
----END QUOTE----
I am not interested in posting valid vatican statements on scientific matters.
The vatican has not shown anything like what is quoted below and bringing them
into this does nothing to invalidate the point below but only supports it.
So we can trot out the idiot statements made by the vatican over the years and
we talk about how they do not share the opinion expressed below, but that will
get boring pretty quickly.
"That science and religion can work very well together deserves special
emphasis. When we study the nature of light later in this book, we will
treat light first as w wave and then as a particle. At first, waves and
particles may appear contradictory. You might believe that light can be
only one or the other, and that you must choose between them. What
scientists have discovered, however, is that light waves and light
particles complement each other, and that, when these two ideas are
taken together, they provide a deeper understanding of light."
