Religion, Faith, Science Controversy
In December 2012, on the second part of the episode about religion in games, Extra Credits made the claim that "all reason is based on faith" and went on to equivocate science with religion, causing an uproar in the comments section which reached 737 posts by January 2012, highest number of comments to an Extra Credits episode to date. In comparison, first part of the episode about religion in games had merely 100 comments, while what could have previously been described as a heavily commented episode averaged at under 200 comments. This has lead Extra Credits to revisit the topic one more time in an attempt to clarify the issue in the next episode titled "God Does Not Play Dice". But instead, they ended up accusing commentators among other things of "hatred of religion", "knee-jerk hostility" and "utter rejection of exploration" while proclaiming "that faith is universal, and applies to everyone's life in some way or another". This caused another heated debate in the comments section, this time reaching over 1000 comments.
