From tiny embryonic cells to the large-scale physics of global warming, President Barack Obama urged researchers on Monday to follow science and not ideology as he abolished contentious Bush-era restraints on stem-cell research. "Our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values," Obama declared as he signed documents changing U.S. science policy and removing what some researchers have said were shackles on their work.I'll take facts, not faith, any day. Religion was great for explaining things to uneducated people 2000 years ago through the personification of unknowns and metaphors. The Sun and the 12 Zodiacs of the Egyptians became the Son and the 12 Apostles of Christianity. The "stories" are all borrowed, never to be verified.
"It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology," Obama said.
Which is the exact opposite of science which has be be verified.
When I go to a hospital, religion is not going to operate and save me. Science is. And the research on stem cells is going to save even more people. Obama is making it possible for millions of people to live better lives. And it can be verified.
Funny enough, Nancy Reagan gives stem cells the thumbs up. Which means by the "associative property/the wife wears the pants rule", Ron Reagan is for it, as well.
