It seems we have several subscribers to the faith here. I call it a faith, because that is what it seems to be for them. At the head of the cult is Mottleydude, followed by ib1yysguy, Watermark, Solitary, and others. There may also be some "closet" members of the cult, I am not completely sure. In any event, they have a nice little organizational structure of support here, often jumping in any debate where the faith of science can be used to force their beliefs down our throats.
Some examples are, debates regarding Intelligent Design, where they would have us believe that science has determined ID is impossible. Of course, those of us who have a modicum of education related to science, understand that science makes no such claim. This is simply a "faith based" position held by followers of Science Theology. It spills over into the debate on Evolution, which is a legitimate scientific theory regarding how already existing life forms may have changed and adapted over time. The Science Theologists believe that science has provided proof that all living things are the product of an original single living organism, despite the fact there is no evidence whatsoever to support such nonsense, and it actually contradicts what we do know of living organisms.
Another example would be Abortion. Somehow, these religious zealots of science have concluded that a human fetus is not a human life, it is something else, even though the biological composition and physics make it a living human organism. Through their dogma of Science Theology, they have found a way to ignore the facts of reality and circumvent what is biological fact. They support their faith-based viewpoint with nice long fancy words and phrases, and a litany of "peer reviews" which are somehow 'ordained' by their deity of science in a way that renders them unquestionable. Much the same way as a Christian or Jewish believer may interpret testaments from the Scriptures, or the Catholics may view the opinions of the Pope, the Science Theologian holds reverent regard for what is published in science journals by other followers of the faith.
Far be it from us mere mortals to question the wisdom and word of the Science Theologian, they simply know more and have better educational background that we do, so it is essential we surrender any argument they may embark upon. Those of us who haven't been "born again" into the anointment of Science Theology, simply lack the understanding and knowledge of these forward thinkers. Yes, they will often lecture us about the moral dangers of educating our children with any sort of "religious" values, but that only applies to other "religions", not to the empirical all-knowing faith of Science Theology! When it comes to that, it is imperative we teach our children the dogma espoused from their religious beliefs. Even though, much of what they preach, has no foundational basis of support, and no evidence to support it, they are smart... so we should trust and have faith in the principles of science, even when what they convey is contradictory to science as we know it.
No one has ever produced a single shred of evidence that life "evolved" from a single living organism. Clearly, it would have had to happen at some point, for there to be billions of life forms currently on the planet, and assuming the planet originally existed without life forms. Regardless of the fact that this "theory" is without any basis for belief, and actually contradicts everything we know and understand about living organisms, it simply has to be accepted and understood as part of the Science Theology faith.
