Apparently, Eugenie Scott gave a presentation explaining the differences between religion and science and how it is possible for them to reasonably co-exist. Of course, this is contrary to the preachings of Dawkins, so it should be no surprise that one of Dawkins' followers, PZ Myers, publicly attacks Scott and her reasonable position on his #1 Science Blog. With a clearly detectable streak of venom, ol' Steel Toes lets her have it:
Take off the comfy cardigan, Dr Scott. Scientists have a role to play in our culture, and it's not as the pleasant, soothing flim-flam artists, mumbling consolation and excuses in return for a donation on the offering plate. We're supposed to be clear-eyed and critical, even when it's easier to play the priest and lie. I think you're doing a bang-up job of accommodating the American citizenry to the fluff and nonsense of woolly religious thinking, but that's not a job that needs to be done, and it's not your job.

Now, one of the problems with IDers is that they reason in terms of followers, they seem to have a lot of problems considering that there are personal points of view.
You have to fit somewhere ;-)
