Evangelical ateism

Y aqui atacan de nuevo, un interesante número de Edge sobre si la ciencia es incompatible con la religión. Me admira el esfuerzo de estos científicos para evangelizar a los demás, esfuerzo de más dignas causas, yo creo.

...to mount an unrelenting campaign against superstition, supernaturalism, and ignorance. The dilemma as Coyne notes is that against the backdrop of scientific knowledge available to us today, these three words are applicable not only to the texts that inform literal fundamentalists but also to the rarefied theological mumbo-jumbo of the most refined, liberal theologians.

Ouchhh, que dira nuestro querido profesor Gamio...

This disharmony is a dirty little secret in scientific circles. It is in our personal and professional interest to proclaim that science and religion are perfectly harmonious. After all, we want our grants funded by the government, and our schoolchildren exposed to real science instead of creationism. Liberal religious people have been important allies in our struggle against creationism, and it is not pleasant to alienate them by declaring how we feel. This is why, as a tactical matter, groups such as the National Academy of Sciences claim that religion and science do not conflict. But their main evidence--the existence of religious scientists--is wearing thin as scientists grow ever more vociferous about their lack of faith. Now Darwin Year is upon us, and we can expect more books like those by Kenneth Miller and Karl Giberson. Attempts to reconcile God and evolution keep rolling off the intellectual assembly line. It never stops, because the reconciliation never works.

ME admira cuan conservadores (si ese es el término para los no liberales) son estos científicos, el querer decirle a los demás como deben pensar y en que creer es muy antiliberal y fascista. Yo prefiero seguir a Gould "that religion and science form "non-overlapping magisteria"".
