Re: “Enlightened Discussion,” Letters, June
Many Canadians are refusing to place faith in God or religion while they’re willing to place faith in secularism and science (e.g., evolution).
Are not science and secularism somewhat like faiths in themselves — i.e., faiths in humanity and in knowledge.
We ardently teach science in our public schools because it’s a “fact” of contemporary times. For, we’ll usually believe in some “study findings” or in some people in long, white lab coats that claim their scientific “fact(s)” to be true. Then, when we read or hear that some scientific “fact” is indeed outdated or faulty, we’ll consume the new “fact(s)” as gospel truth.
After all, it’s science, right?
