In no way does this make science religion. What it means is all opinions aren't created equal and if you want to have a valid opinion you have to do work. If you dont want to do work that's fine, but 998 times out of 1000 your "contribution" is you looking like a dipshit.

If you want to learn it learn it. If you want to participate, learn it. Science isn't just discussion between friends.

Edit: To be exceptionally clear, scientific discussion is NOT open to everyone all the time, and you have no inherent right to participate without preparation and investment.
