Any sect that preaches young Earth creationism should probably also be considered heavily anti-science.

Thats hard to say, but they do preach anti birth control, and ant abortion even when the mother is at risk. Also, they have made bogus assertions that pedophiles had been cured, and then sent them to be around children.

One part of science is not all parts of science. If you only count abiogenesis, or the age of the Earth as a scscience yeah. Science as a whole is pretty much just the christian scientists.

Preaching against birth control isn't denying birth control exists or works. You are conflating science and a specific morality.

The last two popes have been pretty science-friendly. Lets hope the new one follows the tone set by his predecessors.

They're always going to be anti-birth control. That's just not going to change anytime soon.

It is in a way, because they preach that poor people will have better lives without it, and also make false claims about the effectiveness of condoms.

You do have a point. Benedict saying that handing out condoms will worsen the AIDS epidemic in Africa is pretty silly.

I heard that this new pope might be a reformer, and also named himself after one of the great reformers.

Any branch that uses the Bible.
Earth created in 6 days? No dinosaurs - Eve made out of rib of adam but men and women both end up with same number of ribs. Incest.
All of Christianity is based on Incest. Jews2
From there on it just gets worse.

I'm trying to follow the news about him now, but I still don't know much. The brief bio that BBC News has up lists him as "orthodox on sexual matters, but liberal on social justice." :\

Girls young teens on CNN were just on. Met him and know him - He cooks his own food. Does not drive a car and walks a lot. Probably more fit as result. With Argentina voting for same sex marriage he was of course against. Damn more new cute girls on CNN at moment from Argentina.
Argentina where I have worked and lived a bit does have great Italian food. Lots of German food as well lol

Well young Earth creationism requires throwing out ancient history, archeology, biology and human evolution, pretty much all of geology (plate tectonics, layers of rock strata, etc.), chemistry and physics where things like radiometric dating or the age of the earth are concerned, and much of what we presume to know about space. (the formation of our solar system, age of the universe, light from distant stars, etc.) So I would say they would be pretty heavily anti-science.

Yea I have heard that theory. Also it seems that means based on Old book - We had dinosaurs less then 10,000 years ago. Not much tyme for dinosaurs to convert to fossil fuel along with ferns but hey, they say its a faith based system and them who believe do so on faith no matter if 2+2 = less or more then 4

It gets really funny when they have to reconcile dinosaurs and the flood story.
Anonymous D replied with this 13 years ago, 35 minutes later, 3 hours after the original post[^][v]#397,953
To play devil's advocate we can't really absolutely prove dinosaurs existed. We can infer, due to there being fossils, but if the universe just appeared fully staffed with flora and fauna it isn't any less likely it came stocked with stones in the shape of skeletons.
Valid logic, but logic doesn't have anything to do with truth.
Edit: can't forget the fossilize poo. The man in the sky thought of everything. Benefit of omniscience, I guess.

That would go against the the whole "two of every creature" thing that God says to Noah. Some young Earth creationists believe that Noah took dinosaurs too.

Problem with that is recent discovery of enough genetic material from not fully fossilized bones to perhaps and stay tuned to Jurassic parkTrue cause you damn well know clones goin to happen.

One needs to distinguish between denying the truth of scientific propositions and condemning certain technologies.

They've done both. They deny that condoms are even effective at prevented disease. They also deny the reality of fossils, and carbon dating.

The Catholic church, and also Southern baptists. Young Earthers (usually baptist) disseminate false science about the age of the earth.

The Catholic Church does not deny the reality of fossils or carbon dating. They do not deny that condoms are effective at preventing disease and pregnancy, they simply refuse to endorse them on the grounds that they do not believe in any sort of contraceptive other than the rhythm method. Catholics accept that some parts of the Bible are allegories and do not take the entire Bible literally. The Catholic church does not deny the age of the earth, evolution, or the Big Bang.
It is the fundamentalist protestants such as Southern Baptists who take the Bible literally, preach creationism and young earth ideas, deny evolution, fossils, etc.
