Way Of The Dodo

Creationists and AGW denialists alike have cheered at "The Truth Wears Off" by Jonah Lehrer. Finally the evils of science were exposed, and one could happily continue to ignore scientific facts!

Unfortunately for them, Evolution and AGW are in fact examples of the opposite, he says in a followup piece:

One of the sad ironies of scientific denialism is that we tend to be skeptical of precisely the wrong kind of scientific claims. Natural selection and climate change have been verified in thousands of different ways by thousands of different scientists working in many different fields. (This doesn’t mean, of course, that such theories won’t change or get modified—the strength of science is that nothing is settled.) Instead of wasting public debate on solid theories, I wish we’d spend more time considering the value of second-generation antipsychotics or the verity of the latest gene-association study.

So Lehrer actually thinks these are fields where the science is actually so damn clear that his original piece doesn't really undermine them at all.

Man, can those CreatioDenialists never get a break?
