Science was always "front and center" in my upbringing. My dad was the smartest man I have ever known.

Saying that "Science is lacking" is a cop out.

We simply would not be where we are today without the use of "Scientific Method".

We can thank Christianity for being the only European bastion for the preservation of aquired knowledge through the dark ages. The preserved knowledge wasn't exactly correct, but that is irrelevant. The concept of preserving knowledge was in itself, the great contribution.

Modern Theocrats want to throw away aquired knowledge and it isn't just Christians. The most blatant attempts to discard aquired knowledge have been demonstrated by the Taliban.

People that "get it" understand where Theocracy leads. Theocracy perpetuates aquired knowledge only when the contents are monopolized by the Theocracy.
