I think that science should not be left alone. It should be constantly challenged and questioned. That is part of what science is. I say bring 'em on. In the past, any theory that is valid has eventually won the day.
Fundamentalists do not accept scientific evidence. I've been told by one that "divine revelation is the highest form of knowledge."
They are not out to improve science by challenging theories. They are out to destroy science because those theories conflict with their religious beliefs.
Tough to meet that halfway.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
