I get mail from people claiming to be Michael Fumento...

Responding to my latest installment of In vitro, no one can hear you scream...,

I appreciate the posting, but "the scientific establishment" is not the enemy. Supporters of ESC research are ANTI-science. That some of them happen to be scientists themselves doesn't change this. The problem is they have a tremendous PR campaign and the media on their side. ASC scientists are too busy trying trying to help people and save lives to get out and grandstand.



I respectfully beg to differ. Certainly, honest and decent scientists dedicated to learning how Creation works do still exist, though I fear they are an ever-shrinking minority.

The "scientific establishment" is precisely the problem because real science is not its first priority. It may not be a priority at all anymore. From Freud to Timothy Leary, from Darwin to Margaret Mead, from Kinsey to Rachel Carson, real science has been hijacked in the name of socialist fascism. (My apologies for including Citizen Darwin in this Rogues' Gallery. He was a real scientist who, I believe, would be horrified and outraged by what has been done in his name. We are currently suffering from what should be termed "neo-darwinism".)

Of course, these evil clowns could not have wreaked so much havoc on their own. Government, media, and the criminal decline of American education have certainly helped. But the scientific community must shoulder the greatest share of the blame because it has not done enough to combat the rot within its own ranks.


(While I would be flattered if Mr. Fumento noticed my little idiot corner of Bloggerdom, I doubt he would bother to comment. As with everything in cyberspace, kiddies, take it with at least a grain of salt, if not more.)
