Bad analogy. No one is posing as a scientist, just judging them by their
fruit. When the plane crashes those who are not pilots can still ask if
the pilot was properly trained or not. I don't have to be a butcher to
know when the meat I am eating is rotten any more than I have to be a
scientist to read the history of science and not gloss over the
shortcomings of science. I have a minor in biology, but was so thrown
off by the scientific apologists that I never pursued science any
further. It seems scientists, including those who are Christians, want
to ignore the past failures and missteps of science and act as though
the scientific theories of today are infallible, when the ones of the
past never were.
Scientists seem to have no problems reshaping scripture to fit their
paradigms when very few of them have specialization in biblical
languages, hermeneutics or theology. I am not even saying that evolution
is wrong, just that for scientists to claim that the religious person
has no right to criticize science is a bit hypocritical and overblown.
