Evangelicals surprising view of science and what it may mean [View all]
From the article:
Ask fans of New Atheist scientists Richard Dawkins or Sam Harris what religious Americans think of science and theres a good chance youd get something to the effect of religious people hate science.
Yet what do we actually know about what religious Americans think about science, particularly evangelicals, who are often the implicit or explicit focus of such discussions?
Not much, it turns out.

For somebody who wants to be the tone police in this group, you sure come out swinging.

You really try hard to avoid the actual point. Why do you come out swinging?

Stay on topic. Why do you want others to have a better tone but you don't do it yourself?
