   That rule should be for journalists also. Too many of them write incorrect stories or come up with incorrect results.

   Nicholas Wade on the origin of human sociality: “Supremacy of a social network.” I don’t much like this piece, as it’s full of speculations without the responsible solicitation of dissenting views—a hallmark of poor science journalism.

   Actually, he was writing about journalists. I just thought that it applied equally well to creationists who butcher science.

   The problem with science deniers:

   There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
   — Isaac Asimov

   If PZ held himself to the same standard he would have nothing to write about. There would a whole lot less Darwinist blogs if they worked under that standard also.

   On second thought, I would agree to that standard.

   Remember, just because you agree with his conclusions does not make him right.

   @Human Ape: That “cult of ignorance” has infested universities and has led to the decline in scientific understanding in America. That is why we have so many Darwinists these days.

   I declare mcoville as POE. No one can be that ignorant in real life.
