 That there is a blurring of the science vs. religion lines of late is clear enough.? But that there might be a reversal of long entrenched positions is not so clear.? I don't see you average lefty (like me, traditionally) backing the destruction of human embryos if there is any alternative whatsoever, any more than I see the average fundy supporting surgical research on selective dissection of criminals brains.?

And while there is surely enough hypocrisy
in both camps to thwart us doing what we need to do to ultimately save
ourselves from ourselves, I don't think such hypocrisy is due for a
polar reversal any time soon.

That said, stranger things have happened.

What do you make of?today's WSJ?op-ed
piece?by the editor of First Things?

http://www.opinionjournal.com/federation/feature/?id=110010915

?

I'm not sure we can say it can be universally
expected that "science will always find a way." Yes, we should look but it's
not?a given.

?

Also, what do you biochemistry experts say about
the technical work?
