1. Well, it might confuse people who think science is a religion further.

I would prefer they learn that the two things are not exclusive.

2. Science doesn't need accolades and special tribute days

Religion, however, can't survive without it.

What does THAT say?

4. special tribute days are FUN!!

We need to make a party out of special days of scientific significance - maybe astronomy parties during noted meteor showers, etc.

Why celebrate fantasies when reality is so amazing?

6. I agree completely!

I think we should have parties celebrating a new comet or the latest supernovae!

They're at least based on observable reality and are as spectacular as any volcano or or aurora borealis display!

might be able to plug a hole under the water.
