Hi Steve,
Well, I agree with the sentiment if not the specific terms you use
. I wouldn't use the term "scientist" in the way you have - there is nothing scientific about their actions and it is, in many ways, anti-scientific. I think the most appropriate term would be "theologian" or, if I was being realy pedantic, neo-Thomistic pseudo-Marxian theologian.
The dynamic itself is nothing new - it is a standard variant on the witch hunting process used by theologians and other demagogues to rout out heretics. As such, the
ad hominen attacks are to be expected as is the use of illogical logic (e.g. binary logic with extremely flawed assumptions).
