Collins and critics
Obama Puts Evangelical in Charge of National Institutes of Health – Will His Religion Get in the Way of Science?
By Liliana Segura, AlterNet. Posted July 11, 2009.
Francis Collins has defended practices derided by the God squad. But a man committed to reconciling faith and science brings back bad Bush memories.
The mistrust of Collins is remarkable. I have been critical of his Darwinism, and the way this confuses religious questions.
But in the new environment of obsessive atheism and incipient intolerance a simple appointment to a government agency produces ill ease in these nervous nellies of the New Atheism.
