dkv, understand this:

Science has been spectactularly successful experiment in itself for humanity. Religion, for all its pomp and blather, has been, continues to be, and for all we see into the future, WILL continue to be among the most abysmal of failures.

It is only natural that religionists would be jealous of science - cast aspersions, change the subject, claim the laurels - anything but straighten up its own act.
