The Evangelical War on Science & More (Graphic Content)

[Ishmael]

What I find most ironic is that the Republicans claim to be champions of laissez-faire capitalism and hold Ayn Rand as one of their philosophic mentors. All the while they have formed an anti-rationalist alliance between the Religious Right(Rand's Mystics of Faith"Do as we say because God said so.") and the Neocons(Rand's Mystics of Muscle,"Do as we say or we'll beat/torture/kill you.") building the edifice of the Corporate/National Security Police Surveillance State.

Bush and his henchmen have accomplished in 7 years what Osama bin-Laden couldn't do in 700.

What I want is a return to science. Scientific theory. Hypothesis tested to completion. Not the hyped up BS we are getting lately from politicians.

• Observation: Every swan I've ever seen is white.
• Hypothesis: All swans must be white.
• Test: A random sampling of swans from each continent where swans are indigenous produces only white swans.
• Publication: "My global research has indicated that swans are always white, wherever they are observed."
• Verification: Every swan any other scientist has ever observed in any country has always been white.
• Theory: All swans are white.

Prediction: The next swan I see will be white.

Today we get scientific results by committee. Not the above scientific process. Thanks Al Gore and the IPCC! You have done the world and scientific community a major dis-service!

Actually, what we've gotten over the last 7 years is the bowdlerization and editing of Science by political hacks. We also have seen the rise of the Luddite Right who confuse the denotation of Scripture(the prose) with the connotation of Scripture(The Poetry). My answer to them is to take a walk down Oulduvai Gorge with the Leakeys.

ARRRGGHH! I 'ave a new Avatarrrgghh that looks remarrggghhhkambly like me.
