About This Quote

Being a denier of science is not something anyone should be proud of. It is not something that the “skeptics” who claim to be looking for the truth are doing. It is not being in favor of religion, or in favor of anything else that they think might be in favor of their cause. Denying science is absolutely no different than denying any other truth in life.

Those people who are against science are just as blind as the person who is blind when it comes to religion. The only difference between being a denier of science and being a denier of religion, or being a denier of anything else, is that the people who are against science will most likely use their lack of education to prove their point. They will make up stories to bring false evidence to support their claim, but they won't have any real evidence to back up their claims.
