Politics: June 22, 2004

The Temple Priests Have Spoken

Self-proclaimed representatives of science, Nobel Prize Winners, have declared that Pres. Bush is unacceptable because he has diminished the place of science in government.

"The Bush administration has ignored unbiased scientific advice in the policy-making that is so important to our collective welfare," the 48 scientists, who have won Nobels in chemistry, physics and medicine dating back to 1967, said in an open letter released by the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign.

The scientists, who included 2003 chemistry winners Peter Agre and Roderick MacKinnon, accused the Bush administration of undermining America's future by reducing funding for science and turning away scientific talent with restrictive immigration policies.

"John Kerry will change all this," they said. "John Kerry will restore science to its appropriate place in government."


One wonders what is the rightful place of science? Especially scientific thought that bears the religious (faith-based) presupposition of naturalism?
