Don't try to wed superstition with science
This is in reference to the Feb. 19 story headlined "A faith in science" in which Brother Guy Consolmago, a Vatican astronomer, makes many claims based on "faith."
Among the various statements, he told the students at Winona State University that he "voted to take Pluto out of the family of planets."
If Pluto isn't a planet, what is it? Why do supposedly intelligent people fail to recognize the difference between fiction and fact?
Superstition is not science and science is not superstition! A marriage of the two would only lead to a completely incompatible, dysfunctional relationship resulting in the constant need for therapy, perhaps leading to exorcism or some other superstitious rite.
Just as pseudo scientists have a right to their opinion, so also does everyone have a right to their opinion.
