Continuing off our "why do scientists offer such differing conclusions" topic from yesterday... I can find scientists who believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old. But, I can't find any who aren't Christians.

If economics is a science, why do all of these "scientists" have such drastically different approaches for how to best climb out of our current financial situation?
