Well, according to
The Wedge Document, modern science encourages materialism over theistic truth and that this is such a danger to us all that it must be subverted by any means necessary. At least, that's what I got when I read the damn thing...
Really, their point is that science is so objective that it leaves no room for religious understanding and, because science is so effective, people will be encouraged to think less religiously, which is bad for society. Therefore, we really need to redefine science to incorporate religious truth so that society can be saved. It's just that the cold methodology and sheer guile of the wedge tactic makes me believe that they will do anything they can to accomplish their goals. After all, the
sixth commandment didn't stop
the Crusades...
