→If this is a joke, it's not that funny.: Interesting fiction

: That's an interesting bit of fiction. Problems include:
:* Yes, there was a pursuit of knowledge, but science as we understand it [[Physical science#Beginnings|arose in and because of a Christian worldview]].
:* Christianity has been around by that name for 2000 years (and is a continuation of Judaism which was a continuation of the belief in the Creator, dating back to the creation of the world), whereas the peer review process has been around for what? A couple of hundred years?
:* It treats all religions as equal, and therefore as equally wrong. This is a logical fallacy. Just because some must be wrong (they can't all be right when they proclaim contradictory things), it doesn't follow that they are all wrong.
:* Belief in the Earth being around 6000 years old is not a recent, post-scientific, belief. It is what the Bible has recorded for thousands of years and in fact almost everybody thought that the age of the world was that order of magnitude until only about 200 years ago.
:I was annoyed at having to give you a ban. You were the first person I've blocked, other than people who came here solely to vandalise.
