Chris Mooney on Scientists and Political Influence

This guy is a pissant, he sold his integrity to the Templeton Institute (intelligent design advocates).

How is it possible that three educated persons could obliterate a vast amount of scientific evidence that has been proven to be a rational and coherent theory? I can not even fathom voting for someone who is blind to plain facts and reality in order to validate some subjective belief. If a candidate can deny these facts in favor of a misplaced religious conviction, what other facts is that candidate capable of doubting?

he's got some good adviace, but I don't know if it's the right strategy. It would be easier to divert attention away from the "afront on religion" but, unfortunately, you're not going to seperate them. Churchs and Republicans know how to manipulate religion too well for it to be avoided. You have to aim at the stem of both problems with science and religion: ignorance
