The Religion of Science

For those of you who think science is the be-all and end-all of intellectual discussions, read this.

A flamboyant anthropology professor, whose work had been cited as evidence Neanderthal man once lived in Northern Europe, has resigned after a German university panel ruled he fabricated data and plagiarized the works of his colleagues.
In their report, they called Protsch's 30 years of work a "dating disaster.
Chris Stringer, a Stone Age specialist and head of human origins at London's Natural History Museum, said: "What was considered a major piece of evidence showing that the Neanderthals once lived in northern Europe has fallen by the wayside. We are having to rewrite prehistory."

"Anthropology now has to revise its picture of modern man between 40,000 and 10,000 B.C.," added Thomas Terberger, an archaeologist at the University of Greifswald.

Frankfurt University's president, Rudolf Steinberg, apologized for the university's failure to curb Protsch's misconduct for decades. "A lot of people looked the other way," he said.

Pagan elitists; you gotta love 'em!
They are SO desperate to "prove" their hollow "intellectual" ideas, that they will go to any extreme, even if it includes fabricating alleged proof (most of us call that lying).
And Bill Maher thinks Christians believe in fairy tales?
Moron.
