The relationship between faith and science in the United States seems, at least on the surface, to be paradoxical. Surveys repeatedly show that most Americans respect science and the benefits it brings to society. But strong religious convictions can affect some Americans’ willingness to accept certain scientific theories and discoveries.
I reviewed the Biographies page and could find no one with secular or scientific credentials. There were plenty who had studied religion, worked for religious organizations and attended religious academies, but no one with any affiliation to or history with any secular or science based background whatsoever.
Nonpartisan, eh?
