There is always an us and them on ALL issues in life. There are those who
believe in Loch Ness and those that don't. Someone is right; someone is
wrong. Objectively.

There are those who believe General Relativity is wrong; there are those who
know it is correct. Those who believe it wrong, are wrong. Objectively.

There are those who believe in a young earth and those who don't. Someone
is wrong--objectively.

This same standard of truth/falsity should extend to issues of religion even
if we might never be able to have the certainty that we do in observational
science.
