“If the history of science shows us anything, it is that we get nowhere by labeling our ignorance â€œGodâ€.”
-- Jerry A. Coyne

#Ignorance #Shows
“Harmonizing religion and science makes you seem like an open-minded and reasonable person, while asserting their incompatibility makes enemies and brands you as â€œmilitant.â€ The reason is clear: religion occupies a privileged place in our society. Attacking it is off-limits, although going after other supernatural or paranormal beliefs like ESP, homeopathy, or political worldviews is not. Accommodationism is not meant to defend science, which can stand on its own, but to show that in some way religion can still make credible claims about the world.”
