| Is it possible that religion has a tendency to make people afraid of knowledge?
For many religious people scientific knowledge is like playing with fire . The Catholic Chuch said this when it arrested book sellers and buyers soon after the invention of the Printing Press . And Islamic Law prohibited the use of the Printing Press for over 50 years because it was considered a tool of Satan . Edward J . Atheists did not try to censor I.D. It was science teachers . many religious people believe I.D. is false . Science teachers demanded that I.D. not be labled as science , because there is no scientific evidence for it ! They said , and were supported by the courts after a lenthy trial , that I.D. (AKA Creationism) is a religious concept and should be labeled as such .http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10545387/Peter C /// having knowlege OF Gnosticism (or Harry Potter Books for that matter) is NOT the same as having true scientific knowlege and understanding .
