Strange how some individuals and groups with strong religious convictions denounce science which has at its root rigorously applied scientific methods because it conflicts with their ideology.

Then counter with total acceptance of theory which was neatly plucked out of the air by activists promoting an agenda conforming to their beliefs.

The Vatican’s position against pollution seems pretty common sensible to me. I know that global warming has its advocates and its critics but I didn’t realise that good old fashioned pollution was controversial.

"There are different kinds of truths for different kinds of people. There are truths appropriate for children; truths that are appropriate for students; truths that are appropriate for educated adults; and truths that are appropriate for highly educated adults, and the notion that there should be one set of truths available to everyone is a modern democratic fallacy. It doesn’t work.”

Mike,

I doubt that it is in most circles.

But environmentalists seem to group anything they object to into the general category of “pollutants”.

Still the contradiction by the Episcopal Church and others as well, with regard to the role science plays is somewhat troublesome.
