I am reminded of a little girl who prayed and prayed for a sister; and when she did not get one, she concluded that her sister must be evil.

Many in the religous right foster the utterly foolish notion scientific theories are evil and therefore wrong. They may be wrong, but they are not evil. Many involved in science see the religious right as enemies. While it is true that when woodenheaded fools get hold of the purse strings science programs may suffer, skepticism drives the discovery process. Admitting a flaw may exist in the knowledge base is the first step in weeding out errors.
