Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker
Scientists test their theories and subject them to peer review before they are accepted as fact. The theories are usually based on and consistent with previously established knowledge. When new facts emerge, the theories change. Religionists generally hold onto their beliefs even when the evidence suggests that they are wrong.
Oh sure there are lots of "scientists" coming up with new theories all the time, just like religions do/have done. So we are in agreement that both are just belief systems.
Now that is progress.
