AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights concerns about the growing hostility towards science, particularly in El Salvador, where individuals express strong anti-science sentiments despite engaging in scientific fields like computer repair. Participants note that many people are resistant to understanding scientific principles due to deep-seated beliefs and indoctrination, making dialogue and education challenging. There is a consensus that arguing with those who reject science is often futile, as they are unlikely to change their views. The conversation emphasizes the need for proactive measures to protect and promote scientific understanding in society. Ultimately, the thread underscores the importance of combating anti-science attitudes to ensure a progressive future for science.

What is your point? What is the relevance of that video?

The bloke being interviewed is simply a religious type who doesn't take the bible literally.

Really not seeing your point here.

Im suporting the point that not all religon people are close minded and that most chatolics i know are like that, so in the end this people being the majority, there is no real danger to science.

You gauged how closed minded this guy was from that clip?

All he did was tell us that he doesn't believe the bible is to be taken literally. That doesn't indicate his belief in god, it simply means his interpretation of the bible is different to someone elses.

As far as I saw, he never commented on how open to science he was (give me the time reference if he does in case I missed it).

He dares to criticize his own church, and yes he doesent talk about science but still his open about discussing religion fundamentalism, and you said before there are many people in religion who are smart, and i am impliying than most of them are open like that guy.
