Christianity's sins against science
Saturday, May 12, 2007
PZ Meyers has a good post up about Christianity's sins against science at Pharyngula.
In it he lists twelves since that religion is guilty of commiting against science.
1. Theft
2. Literalism
3. Authoritarianism
4. Hierarchies
5. Dominion
6. Predestination
7. Miracles
8. Credulity
9. Inflexibility
10. Blasphemy
11. Supernaturalism
12. Faith
I encourage you to go over to Pharyngula and read his explanations yourself. His preamble is especially good. Also, don't forget to read the comments for even more.

Wow. That Myers article is dead-on accurate and insightful!
But yes, the persecution of Galileo should still be on a top-ten list as well.
Forever.
Because it is proof of the inability mankind to seek truth through faith.
