RE: [asa] Education, Medicine, and Evolution

Now, I respond directly to Donald Calbreath, who asks:

And then there are the recent statements by Coyne who says that religious
and science cannot exist together. He goes on to advocate that religion
be abolished since it is incompatible with science.

Now, who are we to believe?

My reply, Don, is taken from one of the blurbs for Giberson's book, as
follows:

"Few writers have poured more fuel on the recent science-religion
controversies than such religion-bashers as Richard Dawkins, Carl Sagan, and
Stephen Weinberg. In six perky profiles two Christian scholars critically,
but fairly, examine the anti-religious claims of these and other scientific
"oracles," finding them no more "scientific" than the mutterings of
creationists."" --Ronald L. Numbers, author of The Creationists: From
Scientific Creationism to Intelligent Design

As Ron says, these claims are not scientific, any more than the mutterings
of Ken Ham are scientific.
