#####all are based on science and all are threatened by the current anti-science movement.#####


The LEFT-WING war on science! There is no conservative war on science. The assertion that there is one is a fraud, a myth, and figment of the liberal media's imagination. It's as phony and non-existent as the alleged conservative "war against women", "war against an independent judiciary", "war against the poor", etc.

The supposed conservative war on science consists of nothing more than a VERY MILD request that alternatives to evolutionary theory be given a hearing, and conservative opposition to human embryo farming. Hardly a war against science, especially considering the real war against it being waged by the left.

Its much broader than that - its an attack on academics in general.

Take global warming. The real debate is how much is human caused and whether there is proof we can effect global temperatures. But there are conservatives arguing that global warming itself is fake... and frankly that is such an ignorant position (as the numbers are really clear) that they get dismissed by the scientific community.

The issue of evolution is bigger than you present it because what they are asking is for science to stop basing what it teaches on what can be observed and instead to include faith.

that is a recipe for scientific disaster as the Chinese and our other competitors don't suffer from that same issue.
