I would submit that "science" has contributed to the effectiveness of "the Wedge" by participating in politics in the active support of environmentalism. Many "scientists" have taken grant money from organizations with an agenda to impose power over others by using the emotional subject of the environment.

The people behind the "Wedge" are merely copying the success of "science" derived environmentalism. Rather than objectively applying real science and engineering, they use the same tactics of appealing to the general publics non-understanding of the field by using public relations as a tool.

If the 300 year old enlightenment is to survive, then science must clean it's own house. It must attack members of the scientific community that prostitute themselves to environmentally based political movements by lending them credibility.

Science must defend itself by cleaning house, so that Creationists cannot allege that "Darwinism" is merely another religion, because it has been caught red handed violating it's own professed goal of finding genuine "truth".

Science must regain it's respectability by distancing itself from political movements like environmentalism.

As someone who has fought that battle in the very trenches, I agree with you.
