Rejection of science

From Conservapedia

When science and ideology collide, many advocates simply discard science altogether or engage in deception campaigns which obscure what science actually says; see junk science.

In the context of embryonic stem cell research, Joseph Bottum wrote:

I have long suspected that science, in the context of the editorial page of the New York Times, was simply a stalking-horse for something else. In fact, for two something-elses: a chance to discredit America's religious believers, and an opportunity to put yet another hedge around the legalization of abortion. [1]
