Who is more cautious?

   In the interests of disclosure I am a very cautious person who depends on science and religion for various things. Please make your choice based on what you believe "most" people from your perspective are if you can.

   I follow the emergency guidelines on the pandemic from the authorities because it really doesn't matter whether the pandemic is a hoax or not. If it is not a hoax I obviously need to be cautious. If it is a hoax then a bunch of very disturbed people are conspiring to make it appear I need to be cautious. Guess what? That works. If there are a bunch of disturbed people running things I am all the more inclined to be cautious.

   My impression from various media news outlets is that many people consider the religious people far less cautious and thus the problem today and science is the solution. That is the reason I made this poll. I want to know to what extent that it true. I am fairly certain it is not true from my perspective.  I have mentioned many times here how the "war" between science and religion is really between people who understand neither science nor religion.  They are upset about the news that neither of them can control the intelligent designer and determined not to face it.

   I have some comments on modern society lately here. Please read them before making your choice or consider adjusting your choice after you read them.

   I have to congratulate scientists and their friends and followers for trying to make science more cautious than it was. In the early days of the space program and the early flurry of advances against cancer people had become extraordinarily confident in science, perhaps more so than they should. I hope to see what you think in this poll and your comments here.

   I cannot however recommend exaggerating any problems. It is obvious to religious people who understand science that fossil fuels are not being replaced and our current lifestyles that depend so much on them are not sustainable into the distant future.  However I suspect several of the complaints of "climate change" exaggerate the urgency of that problem and result in spastic responses to it.

   One the the most serious and tragic mistakes some people who believe in science often make is associating Trump followers with religion. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is rather a "straw man" for them to debate and easily defeat.  "Defeating" religion will not be as easy.
