The battles over evolution, climate change, childhood vaccinations,
and the causes of AIDS, alternative medicine, oil shortages,
population growth, and the place of science in our country-all are
reaching a fevered pitch. Many people and institutions have exerted
enormous efforts to misrepresent or flatly deny demonstrable
scientific reality to protect their nonscientific ideology, their
power, or their bottom line. To shed light on this darkness, Donald
R. Prothero explains the scientific process and why society has
come to rely on science not only to provide a better life but also
to reach verifiable truths no other method can obtain. He describes
how major scientific ideas that are accepted by the entire
scientific community (evolution, anthropogenic global warming,
vaccination, the HIV cause of AIDS, and others) have been attacked
with totally unscientific arguments and methods. Prothero argues
that science deniers pose a serious threat to society, as their
attempts to subvert the truth have resulted in widespread
scientific ignorance, increased risk of global catastrophes, and
deaths due to the spread of diseases that could have been
prevented.
