Reply #37: It is a crazy world we live in [View All]

If all of the sudden, political experts at science are begin to crawl out of the woodwork, they would at least read a few pages on the philosophy of science first.

Science is a philosophy for explaining our world around us....it has specific rules. If the rules are not followed, it is NOT science. The correct political position for a evolution-defender is NOT that evolution is a fact (because it isn't), it is that intelligent design is not science.

This is why scientists are not getting involved in the political discourse on this subject...they know intelligent design is not science, and therefore it is outside of their purview to answer (unlike global warming). The same goes for "when human life begins" for the anti-abortionists. These are philosophical questions, not questions of science. Leave the scientists the hell alone...ESPECIALLY if you do not know the ins and outs of the scientific method...and leave the philosophy and religion at the door.
