Come'on; do you have to make everything political? But to answer, with this administration, might just have to.
Nah... but if you really want to know, I'm just tired of elitist and or eltist-progressives from Ivy League schools telling us how to do things they really have no real-life experience in. But I digress.
But more so to the point, ones who claim to be the go to guy because they are "really,really" interested in it and have studied a professor's opinion or literature on a opinion based subject, such as "the philosophy of religion", is one to be skeptical of as they claim being an expert in such matters.
No. Keep the scientists. Just be skeptical of where they get their funding for their research.
Hockey (stick) anyone?
