My dads parents were Plymouth brethren. They ended up having to attend different churches as they differed on some minor point of doctrine. Should there be a tablecloth on the altar. Something along those lines.

Is that seen in sentiments, here, toward science? At least, a skepticism in science-as-ultimate-arbiter, or, at most, an outright dismissal of, or even opposition to, it?

Enthusiasts of the movement argue that among the miracles found in the Quran are "everything, from relativity, quantum mechanics, Big Bang theory, black holes and pulsars, genetics, embryology, modern geology, thermodynamics, even the laser and hydrogen fuel cells".[30] Furthermore, there is not a single verse (Ayah) in the Qur’an that is proved incorrect by the science".[34][35]

Zafar Ishaq Ansari describes the idea that "the Quran (and the Sunna)" contain "a substantially large number of scientific truths that were discovered only in modern times" as one of the "new themes and emphases" of "scientific exegesis of the Quran".[36]

science can't be the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong or good and bad. you still need to explain where scientific explanations hold and why. science itself requires explanation - even in the scientific viewpoint - by prior claims about reality

therefore science depends, necessarily, inexorably, upon the non-scientific to sustain itself. without that (occult truth) - no science

I don’t hate it either but I do think it’d be a much better place with more women. gender balance makes life and conversation more interesting in all kinds of ways. Our youth recruitment drive worked a great... now we need to get some more girls in here

The ghost world delusion. What Thora Birch and Scarlet Johanson really want is to spend quality time with some past their prime degenerates admiring their record collections
