I wish we called it "the scientific method" as this is truly what it is - a methodology, not a belief system/ideology.
Comparing the two is like comparing baboons to birthdays; it is possible, but really really stupid.

Well, both have a brightly colored cake.
There is no debate. There are the irrefutable, proven facts backed up by evidence, and the mentally ill who refuse to accept them.
Might even be more important for theories to be refutable but unrefuted. Given the vast wealth and personnel resources available to parties interested in proving evolution wrong (or substitute for your choice of decided-except-in-fantasy-land issue and truth value), it's notable that they have yet to do so. If the evidence or some consistent logic that doesn't eventually lead back to a version of "God did it" were on their side, we'd know all about it.
Ive come to feel lately that the war isn't two sided. The war is raging between science, religion, and ethics. People will argue against science because of dubious ethics that are unrelated to religion. They will ignore scientific evidence because it goes against their moral compass.
Science is cold and uncaring. It will always be at odds against people who live their lives following their heart.
There is no debate between science and religion. The only religions that are incompatible with science are the insane fundamentalists. 99% of Christians don't believe that the creation story in the Bible is literally true; they believe in evolution. The 1% fundamentalists invented the debate between creationism and big bang, evolution, etc. because they want to force Christians to believe they can't believe in science.
I'm an excommunicated Catholic. I was raised Catholic, and went to Catholic school as a kid. The Catholic school taught evolution and a bit of relativity, which are incompatible with creationism.
You are not living in US, do you?
40% of US population are creationists https://news.gallup.com/poll/261680/americans-believe-creationism.aspx
And that’s despite of the fact that like 20% are non-affiliated. That means that half of religions people believe into creation myths. Much higher than 1% that you think.
Very well. Please explain how Catholic Church's doctrine on the LGBT aligns with the research on the topic.
They're both the same image
