People seem to want to know more about the field of science, but they don't want to take the time to learn the branches. People like to comment on science related subjects, yet know nothing about it. The OP is a prime example.
There's not much I can do about that. It's up to the individual to educate themselves about things they're interested in. Perhaps the school system needs to be refined, but thats in the realm of politics. Sure, I sometimes discuss things that are out of my field, but I never claim to be an expert on something when I'm not, nor do I try to use pseudo intellect to degrade a group of people.

You definitely have some good points there. But the education one, it [i]is[/i] currently in the realm of politics but it shouldn't be. Neither should health care, transportation, etc. Sorry, tangent again. You may disagree with this, but i think the big "science v religion" argument the OP has tried to discuss boiled down to verifiable fact v unverifiable belief. I chose verifiable fact. You?

It had more to do with coexistence, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd choose verifiable fact.

Me too. On a personal level though, the message behind many religious teachings on how to be a better individual are definitely able to coexist with scientific reasoning. It's the organised religions that oppress and deride scientific knowledge and advances that can create some truly ignorant people.
