Re: Secession
Take the scientists with you if they want to go.
What would the healthcare system look like in your seceded state, if you're happy for the scientists to go ? I may not need to state the obvious here, but the healthcare system the States currently enjoys (with its beta blockers, CAT scanners, hell, even its aspirin) is the exclusive domain of science.
Would you make exceptions for the continued reliance upon science when it comes to healthcare ?

Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Re: Secession
Ah - I was confused by your statement
Take the scientists with you if they want to go.
I understood from that that you were happy for all the scientists to go. My bad.

Re: 50-50-50-50
I am admonished to take care of my brother and believe in doing so. But everybody in the world is not my brother, only those in my local church.
If someone were to spend a lifetime immersing themselves in the darkest arts of advertising, the weaseliest depths of lawyering and the most devious machinations of spin doctoring, it would still not be possible to twist one of the most fundamental precepts of Christianity, or to inappropriately claim morality, as much as you have done there.
