Bad argumentation meets bad “science”–what a shock! August 26, 2006

Many of you have probably already seen this amazing example of right-wing stupidity. For those of you who teach kids, it’s a great example of how not to argue: unsupported claims, complete lack of evidence, blaming those opposed to you of exactly what you’re guilty of, ignoring evidence against you–it’s a regular carnival of pain!
Why did science stray from the path of truth? I think it is because we ceased educating the men of science with a knowledge of religion – a knowledge, that is, of genuine truth, genuine reason, and the relationship of man to creation, and his Creator. When science became a narrowly forcused[sic] search for something immediately practical, it was bound to eventually be hijacked by people who wanted to use the cover of science for very impractical efforts.
Science ’strayed’ from the path once it decided not to let religious dogma pre-detirmine the outcome of its experiments. And I’ll give Republican Anti-Science Idiots this: science, like most things, is much easier when you let dogma detirmine your conclusions. No need for all that complicated “thinking” and “reasoning.”
