Sticking Up For Science

It’s sad that we’ve come to the point where something as basic as “science” needs to be defended, but luckily for us, a bunch of scientists have created the blog Panda’s Thumb which is dedicated to (in their words) “defending the integrity of science against all attempts to weaken it, distort it, or destroy it”. While it looks like their initial focus is on the evolution vs. insecure followers of Jesus intelligent design debate, I hope to see them branch out into other areas of pseudoscience as well.

  1. Well, I think we’ve got our hands full with just evolution right now — we don’t have plans to branch out just yet.

    This battle has been waged for over 140 years, and the creationists keep on keeping on; ignorance seems to be an infinitely renewable resource.
