Gallup: Plurality of Americans skeptical about evolution

[dead0man]

Being anti-science is bad, but that's not only a conservative problem.  There are more than a few lefty types that hate fluoride in water and GM crops.

The arguments against GM crops are not necessarily "anti-science", there are legitimate concerns about this.

Are there?  'cause every time it comes up here (and elsewhere) I always hear the same sh**t.  "there are studies" when asked for a cite, nothing.  "Monsanto sucks" sure, but what's that got to do with anything?  Ranting nonsense about "monoagriculture" and "won't someone think of the seeds" hand wringing.

Being against GM crops IS anti-science, just like denying evolution.  But only one of those anti-science positions actually gets people killed.

Where are the studies showing any harm?  Good luck, you're going to need it.

(seriously, this isn't easy, but it's not exactly hard either....if a person really cares what goes into their body, they can use Google just as good as me....ok, maybe not as good as me as my Google Fu is quite strong, but no Google Fu has been required so far.  Admittedly the alarmists have so far been outnumbering the good science by a factor of about 10:1, but the science has always been on the first page)

I was wondering when <scary voice>Rat Tumors</voice> was going to show up and here it is at number 4!  I'm not even going to bother with that one.

Should I do the last 5?  I can't imagine they would put their best "gotcha" that high on the list.....

In the same way as there is objectively a scientific debate going on about vaccines.
