Gerald Schroeder, PhD in physics, former AEC employee is a moron trying to fool others that the laws of nature (those associated with our Universe) existed before the Universe (no evidence of that at all). Therefore, (pre-determined conclusion) Gawd:

A Book Blamed For A Suicide
Richard Dawkin's "The God Delusion".
Maybe not lying to kids about religion, would prevent this sort of thing.

U.S. Fails To Properly Monitor Fukushima Fallout?
It's not a safety issue (though the Russian Times seems to want it to be fearful), just a data collection issue, if one is interested in that sort of thing.

An IDiot's Flawed (But Repeated Ad Nauseum) Design Argument
That's why they (Intelligent Design proponents, evolution deniers) are called IDiots:
U.S. NRC Rules Ill Suited For Decommissionings
According to the head of the NRC, Dr. Allison MacFarlane.

Global Warming - Like A Blanket & A Tanning Oil
Longer wave radiation emitted by the Earth is trapped like a blanket.
But eventually, shorter wave radiation emitted by the Sun is also trapped.

Science Denial Charts Are Insufficient
Chris Mooney has a post in which he charts the influence of politics and religion on science denial.
At the end, he concludes that our sense of personal identity is the major influence.

No, Stephen Meyer Isn't An Amazing Scientist
He's an IDiot (Intelligent Design cultist) at a scientific laboratory church.
Fukushima's Contaminated Water
Lots of it! (Nice photo gallery within link - why is it necessary to point out that people wearing protective gear are wearing protective gear?!? HA!)

Cigars Are Carcinogenic Too
Not surprising since tobacco is tobacco.
It also wouldn't be surprising if cigar afficionados started a science denial campaign.

Oklahoma - You Have A Problem
Actually, all Americans do thanks to the election of a U.S. Senator from OK who will use a "biblical worldview" to defeat the national debt.
He's a Redumblican, of course!

Oh, The Irony!
This is several weeks old, but worth the wait.
Creationist (with a major in biology), climate change denier and LA Govenor Bobby Jindal (Redumblican, of course!) calls the Obama administration "science deniers".
He's praying about whether he'll run for President in 2016.

Behe = IDiot
Because an Intelligent Designer loves bacterial flagellum. Where did the rest of the bacteria come from?
S. Carolina - You Have A Problem

The LNT:MDA Analogy
When a laboratory analyzes a sample for radioactivity, it has to compare the instrument's sample results with the instrument's background results.
A one time measurement of the radiation background may or may not represent the true background, there is variability. Same with the sample.
If you've ever read the results from a laboratory, when the sample and background counts are the same, what do they record as the sample's radioactivity?
Hint: It's not zero!

Virgin Galactic Spaceship Crash
Have you heard about the crash?
What if the company's CEO, Sir Richard Branson, had appeared on T.V. and said something like:
"This is a tragedy. Please join me in signing a letter denouncing the science of physics, particularly the horrible theory of general relativity (our theory of gravity). We mustn't let this happen again. A pilot was killed and another injured. The costs have been in the millions. Please denounce general relativity."

Climate Of Ignorance
With right-wing nut and Weather Channel founder, John Coleman (& The Young Turks):
DeNiArs Should Watch This Chernobyl Video
Ian Goddard does a wonderful job of explaining a commonly used tactic of DeNiArs (those who deny the scientific theory of LNT, analogous to evolutionary biology deniers or anthropogenic climate change deniers). They typically indulge in the fallacy of cherry picking radiation studies at low doses and with low statistical power and then erroneously conclude that LNT is wrong and part of an anti-nuclear power conspiracy!
Jesus...The "Science Isn't Incompatible With Faith" Delusion Again
In the Atlantic dealing with the Pope's views on evolution.
The author completely ignores a fundamental Catholic myth.
That Jesus had to die in order to get forgiveness for Original Sin (Adam & Eve stuff).
If Adam & Eve didn't exist (they didn't) and Original Sin never happened (it didn't), then Catholicism blows up. The whole Jesus myth becomes even more nonsensical.
Someone should tell the author that the reason the Pontifical Academy of Sciences exists is because faith is incompatible with science. They need THEIR version of science, instead of an objective version of science.
And what about that wafer turning into the flesh of Jesus after one eats it? Is that science?
Zombie worship isn't science.

Politicians Say The Most Unscientific Things!
Here's a sampling.
Happy Election Day...please vote (it should be obvious which political party's leadership is the most unscientific).

IDiot's Secret Weapon
Intelligent Design ministers (IDiots) have a secret weapon.
I didn't realize human stupidity was a secret. They aren't doing very well keeping it secret.
How about some music?

Thank You Jon Stewart
For having the integrity to mock your newest advertiser, who also fund science denial organizations, Koch Industries. If you ever had any doubts about anthropogenic climate change, Koch Industries was involved in paying people to appear on T.V., on the Internet, etc. in order to confuse you.

DeNiAl Again At Atomic Ideologies
Blaming the theory of LNT on poor Fukushima emergency planning is like creationists blaming the theory of evolution on Hitler's holocaust. I tried to comment there, but I have been religiously excommunicated!
The International Atomic Energy Agency didn't blame science on the failings of Fukushima, they blamed a lack of preparedness and training.
UPDATE: The IAEA link appears to be broken. Here is a similar report from the pro-nuclear power Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO). See the bottom of page 4 (using the page numbering of the document, not Adobe). They didn't blame science. Obviously.
