You're not progressive if you don't accept science [View All]

[mudesi]

No, this is not a litmus test. It's a fundamental tenet of what it means to be a liberal and a progressive.

It doesn't really matter what the subject matter at hand happens to be. Whether it be UFOs or religious superstition or holistic medicine or astrology.

If science has discredited a long held belief, a progressive will change her mind and accept science.

If science illuminates the reality and mechanisms of a particular phenomenon, a progressive will adjust his previously held misconceptions and accept science.
