I'm pretty fed up with people talking about science who know nothing about science. One blog post in particular, to which I will not link because it does not deserve the extra views, has provoked this comment, but that is really only the last straw. Right and left, atheist and believer, people who have taken the minimum science content necessary to obtain a university degree seem to think they have deep insights into what science is and why it is so great or what is so wrong with it. That's pretty much on par with making sweeping critiques of Mexico based on regular visits to Taco Bell -- only they would never dare to make the kind of ridiculous generalizations about a nation that they do about people who understand science.
