The argument can cut both ways: Consider that a. The wars of the 20th century have been more terrible than all the previous ones b. The human propensity to wish to kill another is the same across millenia We can only conclude that it is science and technology that is the multiplying factor for the escalation. Anyway this kind of blame game is becoming faintly ridiculous [and too OT to continue so should preferably stop with this post!] I'd just reiterate what I said: "In my experience the scientific types are more bigoted than the religious ones." To convert this into a universally quantified: "All scientific persons are more bigoted than religious ones" would be quite ridiculous. Anyone interested can find any number of counterexamples both ways. Even a more nuanced statistical "It is more likely that..." is untenable without massively more data than we have at our disposal. --------- And since this has now become too unrelated to emacs, I would like to drop out of this 'discussion'
