Science can't allow religious or political belief to influence conclusions because to do so sometimes kills people in huge numbers. Lysenko-ism in the USSR caused famines that killed around 10 million in the 1930's. Mao's policies to force science to conform to ideology (except nuclear, aerospace, and petroleum, wink, wink) in the 1960s caused the starvation of well over 10 million. The Germans attacked "Jewish science," in the 1930s preferring "Aryan science" with similar and even more tragic consequences than listed above.
I would like to thank you for admitting you are part of the majority opinion within this thread and demonstrating so beautifully the effects of the fallacy on the search for truth.
If I properly understand what you are saying here, I hope someday you will be informed enough to regret that statement.
