 Who Is Politicizing Science, Senator Clinton?
By Logan Gage Hillary Clinton recently unveiled her potential administration’s science agenda. Clinton hit all the buzz words, saying that under her watch “political pressure” would no longer burden scientists. She vowed to lift current federal restrictions on embryo-destructive research, though she would never be that candid -- it is always the intangible phrase “stem cell research.”

By Logan Gage Hillary Clinton recently unveiled her potential administration’s science agenda. Clinton hit all the buzz words, saying that under her watch “political pressure” would no longer burden scientists. She vowed to lift current federal restrictions on embryo-destructive research, though she would never be that candid -- it is always the intangible phrase “stem cell research.”Additionally, Clinton said she would initiate a large global warming research program, even promising to spend $50 billion to combat global climate change. Perhaps she is seeking a Nobel also.As to be expected, she couldn’t help but criticize dissenters from orthodox evolutionary theory. According to The New York Times:“I believe in evolution, and I am shocked at some of the things that people in public life have been saying…. I am grateful that I have the ability to look at dinosaur bones and draw my own conclusions,” she added, saying, too, that antibiotic-resistant bacteria is evidence that “evolution is going on as we speak.”Setting aside the fact that viewing dinosaur bones cannot tell us how dinosaurs came to be in the first place, and aside from the fact that antibiotic-resistant bacteria is evidence of small changes within a species rather than evidence for bacteria’s origin, the thing to notice is the framing of these scientific issues.Following liberal science writer Chris Mooney’s successful book “The Republican War on Science,” Clinton repeatedly lumps these issues together using the “war” metaphor. “Mrs. Clinton has used the phrase ‘war on science’ frequently on the campaign trail, and it has reliably drawn applause from Democratic audiences,” according to The New York Times. Her website declares she will “end the Bush Administration’s war on science.”But who is really politicizing science? In February 2008, comedian, economist, and actor Ben Stein will release a feature-length documentary film titled “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.” It chronicles the many scientists who have been harassed and denied tenure by their colleagues, despite overwhelming scientific credentials, because they either dissent from Darwinism or the larger worldview of materialism.
