Science and Religion Can and Do Mix, Mostly

coondoggie writes "A recent Rice University study found that in one of the more vitriolic social (and increasingly political) battlegrounds, science v. religion, there is more common ground that most folks believe. In fact, according to the study, only 15% of scientists at major U.S. research universities see religion and science as always in conflict."

it's idiots vs science.

The scientific world rejects idiots. Religion and politics (is there a difference ?) actually need to embrace/recruit them.

Guess who's more numerous.

It's really no surprise that *actual* scientists have a more open mind than the self-proclaimed intellectual elite of slashdot.
