| Quote (midwifetoad @ Nov. 25 2009,11:52) | Dembski's opinion on global warming is of no importance. What is important is that this is a politically heated issue possibly involving massive industrial changes and possibly significant personal sacrifices by billions of people.
You simply can't generate the political will to make these changes if the data and methods of analysis are not transparent.
This is a fiasco, regardless of where the science leads.
Instead of making fun of fools like Dembski, the science community should be discussing some process to rescue the analysis. A mini-Manhattan project, perhaps. |
Agreed-though there is probably no way to convey actual investigations, corrections, and what real impact this has on consensus through the noise that will come from this theft. There should be several careers investigated, but this doesn't kill the field, except in the minds of those who never believed it anyway.....
And anyway, its more fun, especially when Dembski goes for twofers that:
1) Violate movie copyright*
2) Violates Godwin's Law in a not-particularly funny way....
Hitler-always fun for laffs
* (Maybe you could claim parody, but I don't think new subtitles fly, no matter what their content-otherwise, I could pirate anything as long as I add a running commentary.)
