I wish we called it "the scientific method" as this is truly what it is - a methodology, not a belief system/ideology.

Comparing the two is like comparing baboons to birthdays; it is possible, but really really stupid.

Well, both have a brightly colored cake.

There is no debate. There are the irrefutable, proven facts backed up by evidence, and the mentally ill who refuse to accept them.

Might even be more important for theories to be refutable but unrefuted. Given the vast wealth and personnel resources available to parties interested in proving evolution wrong (or substitute for your choice of decided-except-in-fantasy-land issue and truth value), it's notable that they have yet to do so. If the evidence or some consistent logic that doesn't eventually lead back to a version of "God did it" were on their side, we'd know all about it.

Ive come to feel lately that the war isn't two sided. The war is raging between science, religion, and ethics. People will argue against science because of dubious ethics that are unrelated to religion. They will ignore scientific evidence because it goes against their moral compass.

Science is cold and uncaring. It will always be at odds against people who live their lives following their heart.
