@shnazer1 um no. science is based on publically verfiable evidence, whereas religion is based on private prejudices.

sports are as important as art or music. common denominator of the three: they're hobbies that shouldn't be school subjects.

Greatest comment ever! And brainless shithead non-scientists and anti-scientists then blame the scientists and science and math in general, rather than the journalists where the blame rightly belongs, whenever the "next big thing" fails to live up to their expectations.
