Buchanan hits and misses


I like Buchanan's criticisms of the practice of science - people forget that while science has given much to humanity, it is no more pure an endeavor than any other human endeavor.  Nor are scientists any more pure that 'regular' humans.  The first rule of science make sense in that context - don't trust the scientist, trust the scientific method.  Given that government is run by politics, I completely agree with his assertions and the implications that science by government is a disaster.

Of course, being Buchanan, he doesn't stop there and proceeds to some BFOs (blinding flashes of the obvious) that, no, Darwinism does not explain the origin of life.  Thanks Pat.  Big help there.
