He cannot tackle every issue surrounding junk science. There are enough "skeptic" groups who take on things like Big Foot, UFOs and ID. He's more into science than science fiction, I suspect. And his critics are mostly those with more political agendas than good science behind them. Science is inordinately unpopular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19937890.post-1163733965525708182006-11-16T22:26:00.000-05:002006-11-16T22:26:00.000-05:00ns: I know that Milloy is not an Objectivist and I...ns: I know that Milloy is not an Objectivist and I would hesitate to seek his opinion on anything outside science. His tolerence of ID is common with many scientists who would rather stick to science and leave philosophy for others.<BR/><BR/>When I first started visiting his site I checked on a few of his referenced sources and he turned out to be correct. I trust his work on things like global warming and Ozone etc.. I was unaware of the quote problem you linked to so in that vein I will keep my eyes open.

No. Intelligent design. Yet JS.com remains largely silent<BR/>on this topic. Their reason?:<BR/><BR/>"Not infrequently, the question is asked as to why JunkScience.com does not weigh into the so-called debate concerning evolution/creation (there'll probably be trouble because I didn't capitalise that). The answer is simple: alleged<BR/>ID and Creation (there, better?) are matters of faith with zero requirement for science nor proof. In fact, "He said it. I believe it. That's an end to it." leaves no room for debate, informed, reasoned or otherwise - it's faith and<BR/>perfectly sufficient for believers. The bottom line here is that, if you<BR/>believe, that's fine, as it is if you don't believe - just don't confuse belief with science. And no, we won't be answering e-mail on this."<BR/><BR/>http://www.junkscience.com/sep05.htm<BR/><BR/>In other words, they think believing in ID is fine, it's just not "science." That's a big cop-out.<BR/><BR/>Reason #2: http://info-pollution.com/dangerously.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
