The March for Science materialized as a global event on six continents — and cheered on by scientists on a seventh, Antarctica. On the National mall, the crowd has been large, with thousands of people gathered on the grounds of the Washington Monument and lines for the security checkpoints stretching for more than two blocks.
Rain has varied from light to borderline apocalyptic, but that didn’t stop people from dancing when Thomas Dolby performed his 1982 blockbuster hit “She Blinded Me With Science.” The march proper is scheduled for 2 p.m., and will proceed down Constitution Avenue to the foot of Capitol Hill.
“We are at a critical juncture. Science is under attack,” said Cara Santa Maria, a science communicator who is one of several emcees of the four-hour rally that kicked off at 10 a.m. “The very idea of evidence and logic and reason is being threatened by individuals and interests with the power to do real harm.”
She went on: “We’re gathered here today to fight for science. [The crowd cheered.] We’re gathered to fight for education. [Cheer.] To fight for knowledge. [Cheer.] And to fight for Planet Earth.” [Cheer.]

Happy to see a scientist earlier on Fox saying that these people are getting religion and science mixed up.
IOW, science is the new religion, except that it is not scientific.
Just saw a clip of Bill Nye addressing the crowd and he really seems more like a tent revival evangelist than a scientist.
Will do fake science for food.
Liberals abort millions of their own babies in abortion mills.
And they support muslims and crazy blacks who kill those who escape the abortion mills and mature into children and adults.
Actually, there is. The same God who created this one has promised to make a new heavens and a new earth. This old one will pass away
Used to be the scientists let others be the ethicists. Now they really do think they know it all.

I’m all for the Scientific Method.
Not for the extortionate conjuring slight of hand that passes for science today. It’s all about the taxpayers money flowing without questioning into their pockets because they claim to be entitled to it through their falsified paper clouds.
I sneaked into a progressive campaign event last October. They had a whiteboard where people could write the issues that were of greatest concern to them. My favorite was they wanted to add “A” to “STEM” making it “STEAM”. The “A” was, you guessed it, for the Arts.
Wait, wha? What was the latest sniveling doofus parade I missed. March for Pseudoscience ?! The comic relief is delicious to watch your tagline of never tiring to be more the soft touch. We now have a new source to consider I see. Prattling leftists are now injecting their vast self-appointed knowledge of “science” into the mix. These stalwart ill-informed safe-zone scrambling grousing spongers who cast their finger in the wind. Grasping for the latest fad or lie that fits best to flatter their dispirited self-esteem. These now are our saviors. Whose deductive reasoning consists of shouting down opposing views squawking “settled science” from atop snowflake palace. Derived from the litmus test on which salacious carnival barker or asinine altar they choose to grovel on bended knee to today. ~MK Colin
