WSJ Refused To Publish Lawrence Krauss' Response To "Science Proves Religion"

Posted by samzenpus on from the it's-our-playpen dept.

First time accepted submitter Kubla Kahhhn! writes Recently, the WSJ posted a controversial piece "Science Increasingly Makes a Case for God", written by non-scientist Eric Metaxas. Noted astrophysicist Lawrence Krauss wrote a simple and clear retort in a letter to the editor, which the WSJ declined to publish, but Richard Dawkins did.

    Business folding to the religious as usual. Hope we don't offend anyone by saying their religion and religious leaders are wrong about everything.

    So what you're saying is, every time there's an op-ed piece, someone get's to have a retort published? Really? We can ignore the appeal to authority, a "well respected" scientist's opinion is no more valid than a "charlatan's." So if we go this route, Sarah Palin deserves to have quite a few letter to the editor's published.
