#####Its much broader than that - its an attack on academics in general.#####
There is no such attack from the right. None. Nowhere. If you're looking for one, look toward Harvard, where the school president was practically run out of town on a rail for noting that men on average may be better in some disciplines (math, physics, etc.) than women. Or the American Psychological Association, which altered its official position on homosexuality after a sit-in by gay activists.
There's your war on science. Merely offering an alternative to a theory that can't be proven isn't a war against that discipline.
Science entertains possibilities all the time that can't be observed or tested. Life in other galaxies. Other dimensions. Parallel universes. There's nothing wrong with that.
"There is no such attack from the right. None. Nowhere. If you're looking for one, look toward Harvard,"
the presence of attacks from the left does not in any way disprove attacks from conservatives - you can see them in this thread.
Then why don't/won't creationist and ID advocates do that? Instead of offering "an alternative ... theory," they're skipping that step almost entirely -- and a number of steps immediately following, e.g. testing, publication and peer review -- and asking that curricula be altered to (falsely) suggest that the "alternative" has already been presented, tested, refined, vetted, and achieved scientific standing somehow comparable to evolutionary theory!
