Why do people hate science?

[Archae]

13. Science is a tool. Nothing more.

The same hammer that can build a house in the "Habitats For Humanity" program, can smash someone's skull in or cause other injuries or broken bones.

Science can be misused.
And it is, misused.

BUT...

Before you jump on the "Monsanto iz EEEE-VIL!" train, know this.

"March against Monsanto," Jeffrey Smith and Steven Druker are all getting very rich pandering to the anti-science loons.

And MaM is viciously anti-vaccinations, also.
And anti-medicine.
Just go to their web site, you'll see it.

Smith and Druker have zero scientific credentials, and are very fond of making wild charges that do not hold up to scrutiny.

Do we still send mentally ill people to exorcists? Mostly, no.
Do we still treat "humors" in the body when someone gets sick? Mostly, no.

You want to evangelize for creationism? For phrenology? chiropractic? Chinese "medicine?" Go ahead.
Just don't be surprised if a kook belief is called, a kook belief.
