Scientific Fundamentalism

It's just as scary as religious fundamentalism, and in fact justifies the position of religious fundamentalism that science and religion are "mutually opposed and exclusive worldviews". Lakshmi Chaudhry does a nice job of pointing out the effects of "fundamental" intolerance in her article on Richard Dawkins documentary, The Root of All Evil

For another perspective, I recommend Bill Moyers "Faith and Reason". I believe the questions of why things happened the way they did are much more complex than Dawkins admits, and the world is not drawn in two tones.
