The significance of religion might not be seen in science as such, but as a form of enlightenment, I do believe people have the right to exercise them. It seems to me that Dave is somewhat in favor of a totalitarian form of government...
Personally, I also criticise many absurd aspects of religion, but that does not imply that I oppose its existence and or practice.
I agree with DM, the choice is always there, it's a matter of personal willingness and or fear of the consequences that seem to limit our options. Our natural deductive reasoning mechanism seem to play a major part in our choice making procedures.
Did you know there is a major difference between an engineer and a scientist?
Best regards
Zelta
