Can you logically reject the methods of science while accepting its products?
To personally pick and choose the products of scientific discovery, denying those that you personally disagree with, is to say that the methods are only selectively correct. This is not to say that we should do everything that scientific discovery enables us to do. That would be just as dumb. But to be up in arms in the denial of experimentally corroborated knowledge about human origins is to do far more than simply deny Darwin's theory of evolution.
It seems to me that their are a lot of fundamentalists in the world who should turn in their cell phones.
