A Battle for the Stone Ages

Why is it cool to be a Conservative Christian nutjob again? We were making such great strides these past years. With the presidential election coming up I find it infuriating that we as Americans would even consider a president that doesn't believe in evolution or global warming. Republicans are looking more and more like an anti science party rather than a political party. It seems that whoever can be the biggest evangelist will get the number one spot. On top of that there is a big to do about whether or not Mitt Romney can call himself a Christian. A: Yes he can it is a fact that Mormons are Christians thanks for playing though, and B: That shouldn't enter into a PRESIDENTIAL campaign. Sure we aren't where we thought we would be, but that doesn't mean we should go jump into the arms of the Republicans again.

Kevin Canfield interviews Jonathan D Moreno, a professor of science and medical ethics at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of Obama's transition team. Canfield interviews Moreno, but Moreno is the one that has the most to say. He talks about why Americans are where they are now in terms of biotech research and other things. The article is not a shot at religion. It is simply Moreno's opinion that it is a hindrance to the progress of scientific research in America and I agree.
