It's time for wisdom, righteousness and common sense!

I don't even think the issue is so much believing in god but letting that belief influence which observations of the universe you are willing to accept and which you reject, especially formed upon dogma. I've known plenty of scientists who believe in god to understand that the belief itself is not the issue.

Right and wrong are concepts of morality. Science does not define morality. Nor does it define truth in the concept of art, or other philosophical pursuits. It is a method, a reality filter if you will, for seeing the universe, and very useful. Your statement is almost as poor as the one you replied to.

as is yours - if you had a point it is less than clear.

Perhaps that it /is/ up to people to decide what is right and wrong? Or is your reading comprehension that low?

Regardless, you can't remove the human element from science. Cf. Karl Popper.

I never said you could remove the human element from science - this has no bearing on facts however. Something is true or it isn't. Science has nothing to say about morality or the arts - and these are hardly what i was referring to either. You manners are as poor as your inferences..
