I feel they should stop allowing for 'loopholes' for religion to squeeze through just because they feel they can't offend anyone. I know there is a great amount of funds, financial support, connections, etc. that will be lost for the field of science due to one admitting that organized religion is bogus, free will, etc. However, what if these scientist all ban together and sign a petition saying that they will no longer aid a society with their exceptional knowledge and skill until the world accepts that organized religion is not only dangerous, but has been a hindrance of science advancement for years. Not to mention they can't reach their full potential with this hanging over their heads. Sadly there are people ignorant enough to kill themselves if they were told by geniuses that their 'faith' was completely bogus and false. However, how many people were upset when they found out that 'blacks' or other races were actually human just like whites and deserved the same treatment. This didn't go over well with the White American public did it?
We all know that the more educated a person is the less religious they are and i'm willing to bet that most of the people we depend on for Scientific breakthroughs are forced to work under the limitations a religious society imposes on them. Why should these scientist continue to sweep 'facts' and evidence under the table to suit the general 'ignorant' public? Science itself produces much better ethical codes we can follow so it can sustain itself and create it's own boundaries for the sake of humanity.
Just think of how our society would suffer if these top people refuse to proceed with their work until the world stops being stupid. Think of the scientist working on a vaccine for HIV having to deal with the Catholic Church that is against condom use, and some 'Christians' against the HPV vaccine. Or stem cell research that has bans in some states because of ignorance of biology. Or having to work under the corrupt eye of the government while they steal any information the scientist gain for their own political gain and needs. Work done by these scientist are dumbed down, misused, and exploited to fit the public DESIRES. Yet these people have no problem using the nice technology these same scientist designed and made possible. Amish people using cars yet claiming they are bad, etc...
The criminal justice system is just about as unjust and heartless as mental asylums were in past centuries. Neuroscience and other professionals advise top officials and policy makers yet they refuse to accept what they are told because it doesn't 'fit the public mood'. This is BS and I'm tired of political correctness and conservatism.
Politics are a huge hindrance of all of the sciences and I for one am sick of it. I learned this in my Human Services class and it is infuriating to have to deal with the ignorance of the public and politics.
When will the general public realize that they are NOT experts on these topics and therefore should take the advice of the professionals since they are unwilling to research and learn for themselves?
The last time our 'society' called on the help of scientists they got the Atomic bomb. How much more will this government demand from it's superior citizens without taking their advice about how to use the technology?
