What is antiscience? On FR, the following topics are controversial:
- Biology (contains actual biological evolution)
- Geology (supports an old Earth)
- Paleontology (supports the above two)
- Astronomy (supports an old and mechanistic universe)
- Cosmology (too often does not mean somebody's preconditions)
- Physics (too mechanistic)
The actual objections to the above are more varied (sometimes fantastical) than my brief paraphrases can accurately portray. At any rate, let's say the common thread would be an unwarranted skepticism to anything we've learned in the last 200 or so years.

What is antiscience? I think that's what the left is saying that Limbaugh did when he called Michael J. Fox on his demands that the government spend billions of taxpayer dollars to destroy embryos.

What is antiscience? Those who think that Adam & Eve rode around on dinosaurs 6,000 years ago when the Earth was built? Which is quite more people than one would think.
