Intellectualism has always been intolerant, bigotted and self deifyingly elitist. He's Falwell and Robertson in a monkey mask. Perhaps he could retitle himself "the Grand Dragon of the Evolutionary Klan". Much of science isn't provable, ala the big bang and Darwinism. It's simply the best educated guess made by the most powerful or most charismatic guesser of the moment. Those that believe in the guess that "this is what happened 800 billion years ago", have no less "faith" than does a member of a religious community. They just choose, as do the religious, to see what they have faith in as the truth.
