A discussion of what science means is not off-topic IMO. I consider it a
prime example of what is _right_ about this newsgroup, and a reason I
mostly avoid moderated forums.

If this doesn't interest you, don't read it. Nobody is making you, and
it is easy to ignore threads.

Also, please thinks before you post to determine if your
post is going to offend anyone's religion or political convictions.

Since I don't consider people with religious convictions to be
intellectually human, I can't offend them by any definition of the word
I accept. And nobody should be offended by a political view they don't
happen to agree with. (And I did think about this last paragraph before
posting it g.)
