[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5135955, member: 1"] But science doesn't "do" anything. It certainly isn't conscious, nor does it have motives. I can't get my head around the position. Scientists certainly don't have a big secret club where they all meet in a volcano lair and plot the destruction of "religion". I mean - is he angry at "science" because when he steps off a ledge, he falls down? Or because when he flicks a lightswtch, the room becomes more visible? I can't comprehend who or what he's angry at. I suspect that the issue may actually be something entirely different. Is he angry at [I]all[/I] scientists? Who does he define as a "scientist"? For example, is he angry at his doctor, or a mechanic, or the manufacturers of televisions - i.e. anyone who utilizes science? Or is it just researchers he's angry at? Is he mad at the folks trying to cure cancer, for example? [/QUOTE]
