Dan Gillmor: “Powerful people should be defending science. Why are so many so silent?”
Right on the spot. I just want to point out one tech exec who recently spoke out for science and against Intelligent Design, Adam Bosworth:
It is time to speak up. It is time to say that facts are what matter, not faith, that human progress is accomplished through unfettered use of reason and inquiry and tolerance and discussion and debate, not through intolerant and irrational acts of terror or edicts. For all of our children and for the future, speak up against this wave of intolerance and irrationalism washing over the world.
Bravo!
