Heresy charge: anti-science
Wilkins brandishes some mooneyish hand-wringing.
There is absolutely no reason why the American public should fall in line around Darwin dogma just to satisfy the biotech industry’s desire for cloned science jocks who are perfectly trained in Darwin theology. Tough luck, guys, Darwin’s theory isn’t science, and the public found out first, not the scientists. The reason is the way science education is designed to cripple intelligent minds.
This isn’t a question of science. It is a question of capitalist domination, and the immense profits to be made. I fail to see how the opinions of fundamentalists are going to make any difference. Compute the total geography of Singapore and divide that into the landmass of old US of A. There must be some place you can do this.
As far as that goes, science is not a nationalistic question. If the Singaporeans wish to impose secret police control on science methodology to do stem cell research, then I am fearful of what nervous competitors in this country will do to us to maintain their profits.
So thank god for fundamentalist idiots.
