Re: Group Think

That depends on what you mean by "true fundamentalist". Some fundies become fundies as children, but later learn to think for themselves and throw off that fundamentalism. We have examples among the scientists on this forum.
I don't know that there's a table of stats on this, but many scientists go Biblical from being avid evolutionists due to the evidence they find as to the problems of evolution and due to the evidence they discover as to the credibility of the Biblical record as per things like fullfilled prophecy, personal experiences, statistics of social benefits, et al. You don't find those people here where their views are unacceptable so most here are unaware of the number of them.

Re: How is this a disagreement?

I mean, you wouldn't want to try and buy medicine from a fundamentalist pharmacy would you? Since there are never any new diseases, and therefore no need for new cures.
I wouldn't spend a penny on a one of any prescription drugs and most over the counter drugs including aspirin. The wholistic practitioners are the ones healing bodies, not symptoms with all the side effects being good as opposed to terrible side effects including death warnings on the medicine bottles. The last drug I took was about 35 years ago and it put me into a 24 hour coma. I haven't been to a Dr's office since and all my medicines are fundamentalist wholistic herbal, vitamin, mineral, diet remedies and preventions, fundamental to good health since the year one. Medicine/health care is money driven with the pharmaceuticals getting rich off of the people's illnesses and the MD's cashing in via the knife, the needle and the pill dominating their practice. This is about all they've been indoctrinated into in the med schools. I also raised my boys without MDs with one 5 minute expensive broken shoulder support applied by an MD. Try to find a professional auto repair shop that doesn't rip you off or do sloppy repair. LOL. They're out there but scarce. Whether it's religion, media, education, medicine, or whatever, the professionals often operate on a money driven system.
(abe: I've said the above to say fundie debate and fundie practice quality depends on what those fundamentals are. Most of you people do and respect fundie science, so we're all fundies debating fundamentals in our own right. Right?)
