***Government Secrecy in the Name of “Science.” The

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) repeatedly refused to disclose to Congress the scientific data the agency used to establish sweeping new pollution standards, claiming it was protecting the data “from those who are not qualified to analyze it.”

***Curtailing Free Speech in the Name of “Science.”

A growing number of politicians, professors, and journalists are advocating the forcible suppression of dissenting views about climate change, evolution, and other science issues. In the words of one journalist, climate change skeptics “should face jail. They should face fines. They should face lawsuits.”

*** Bashing Religion in the Name of “Science.”

Atheist scientists are increasingly aggressive in evangelizing for their views in the media as well as the classroom. For example, last year’s Cosmos television series hosted by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson — and introduced by President Obama — portrayed religion as the enemy of science and claimed to show how life developed due to “mindless” processes.

*** Coercive Population Control in the Name of “Science.”

Evolutionary zoologist Eric Pianka at the University of Texas has urged the reduction of the Earth’s human population by up to 90 percent and has called on government to confiscate all the earnings of any couple with more than two children.

Why choose Darwin as the whipping boy for science? Better to choose Marie Curie or Newton or Nobel or even Einstein.

If you are going to go after core science, be honest about it and go after core scientists.

Of course, there will always be yahoos who think the need for vaccinations and fluoridation aren’t “real science.”

I can scientifically prove AGW is not science (see my tag).

...John G. West describes the growing misuse of science to curtail basic freedoms, erode time-honored ethics, and circumvent democratic accountability.

This is nothing new. Both the Soviets and the Nazis did the same thing.

When will POTUS #44 receive his Darwin Award? That’s the most deserved one not yet in his trophy case.

And where do the majority of theoretical scientists draw their paychecks? Hijacked institutions of higher education. Any more questions?

Tyson had previously dismissed God as “an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance,” and the producers of the new Cosmos were known for believing that “religion sucks” and for warning students: “Stay away from the church. In the battle over science vs. religion, science offers credible evidence for all the serious claims it makes. The church says, ‘Oh, it’s right here in this book, see? The one written by people who thought the sun was magic?’”

And most Black people support this President because they are as radical as he is on every issue. What do they do in their "churches" . . . study Origin of the Species and watch "gay" porn?

I'm sure the "indigenous pipples" all over the world are mad at white people for destroying their ancient materialist scientific knowledge and telling them the sun was magic.
