Bob,

Denying the theory of evolution is not necessarily anti-science.

I can't see how it isn't.

OK. then we'll just have to disagree


Are people going to demand some kind litmus test for embracing
science of Presidential candidates? Can we apply that to voters
too?


It would certainly make sense (in both cases ;-)). Everything happening
around us is based in science. A thorough understanding of the
scientific process is pretty much mandatory for making decisions, at
least if they're supposed to be good ones.

The way I look at it is that science can be useful for trying to explain
and predict the real world around us. For hundreds of years Newtonian
physics provided a pretty good model of the real world and useful for
making predictions about how things would work. Scientific evidence
today shows that Newtonian physics is incomplete for certain
environments. Who knows what other limitations of our understanding
exist?
