Fundy Science
Paisano, I don't know many fundy's who consciously reject science. Some I know at least accept science as a means to *have domininion* over nature, as per Gen 1:26.
(And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.)
Many (in the world) are just simple farmers, however, and don’t practice industrious science. And, I’ve seen *Amish missionaries* living much more Savy than the fundy-Haitians (in Haiti).
Admittedly, I myself, have *freeloaded* science (i.e., having excessively *dominated* my podiatry clinics with my EMR and Billing programs (Visual-FoxPro 9, Com, Win-API, VB Script, etc.) to do away with employees in my podiatry practice (Doctor Professional | Pure & Natural Supplements). Also, I personally have 4 science degrees (including an MS in Biomed) and view no conflict between science and faith.
Furthermore, faith is evidence of things unseen (Heb 11.1 KJV). Consider the *incredible* Macro-ToE faith-religion. How can such (faith) evidence possibly conflict with science evidence? (Deerbreh, might view that as that an oxymoron?)
