A Scientific Study In Evolutionary Musicology
| December 26, 2011 | Posted by GilDodgen under Eyes Rolling |
Darwinism has been the most prolific progenitor of junk pseudoscience in the history of junk pseudoscience. One might even call Darwinism the universal common ancestor of junk pseudoscience in the last century and a half. (“Junk pseudoscience” is not redundant. Pseudoscience is worthless.

In this article in the Daily Telegraph (UK), we see some typical philosophical and cultural applications of Darwinism: People are unfaithful to their marriages Therefore, it is natural Therefore, it is right i.e. What is, is what is right. Since we are no more than nature, all that we do is thus natural – and… more

Darwin and the Beauty Pageant
| June 9, 2011 | Posted by DonaldM under Darwinism, Evolution, Eyes Rolling, Free Speech, Intellectual freedom, Intelligent Design, Science, Society |
Lest there be any lingering doubt about how far Darwinians might go in the enforcement of the dogma, it now appears that even beauty pageant contestants are not immune to consequences for failing to toe the Darwinian line. Contestants in this year’s Miss USA pageant are being asked questions about whether evolution should be taught… more

Al Gore comes out of hiding
| March 2, 2010 | Posted by William Dembski under Climate change, Eyes Rolling, Global Warming |
Part of Al Gore’s credibility problem is his blatant conflict of interest, having profitted enormously from pushing AGW. Fortunately, ID proponents can’t say that we’ve lined our coffers pursuing ID. Sure, Barbara Forrest, Eugenie Scott, and Ken Miller constantly proclaim the contrary — from their well-heeled positions, funded largely by public moneys. In any case, this… more

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), a research discipline that celebrates the 50th anniversary of its inaugural publication this week (see page 345), has always sat at the edge of mainstream astronomy. This is partly… more
And there you have it!
| August 23, 2009 | Posted by William Dembski under Eyes Rolling, Religion, Science |
Janna Levin, Columbia astrophysicist, gives us the cutting-edge science on the origin of the universe: there was nothing, really nothing, nothing at all … but the potential to exist. Was it Aristotle who said that nothing admits no predicates? So where did nothing get the potential to exist and then bring the universe into existence?… more

Coffee!! Neuroscience: Your local marketing research pest is getting into the action …
| March 17, 2009 | Posted by O'Leary under Eyes Rolling |
Market research is tolerable if we understand that it is part of a sales strategy (those people gotta make a living). But pretending it is some kind of science is a fringe too far, I am afraid.
I believe that neuroscience should stay anchored closely to medicine. more
