The age-old war between religion and science has taken a new twist. Once the dedicated scientist-martyr fought heroically against rigid religionists. But now the tables have turned, and it is established science crusading against religion, pushing atheistic agendas in the classroom, in textbooks, and in the media. This book shows how science has now become a religion of its own-an often fanatical one at that-furiously preaching atheism, punishing dissenters, dictating how and what we should think, and subtly inserting its worldviews in everything from education to entertainment. And, with stunning clarity, it proves that, with billions of dollars up for grabs in the race for stem cell research, intellectual integrity has been replaced with good old-fashioned greed. With sharp insight and completely original reporting, this book defiantly shows the extent to which science is beating down religion and how this systematic tyranny is unmistakably weakening culture and society.

Enlightenment

By reluctant.mortal on November 5, 2005

Format: Hardcover

Once upon a time, we learned that the scientific method was dispassionate; that scientific observations were independent of the observer. By its very nature science affected belief about the world and the cosmos by persuasion without preconception. Science required no revelation. It was not doctrinal. It did not promise miracle cures, instantly. This book makes it clear that none of this is any longer the case, at least for celebrity-science hyped by today's fatuous mainstream media outlets.

Undoubtedly, much unbiased and unpretentious scientific research is still conducted beneath the media radar. As most of it is not supportive of progressive politics, however, it is deemed mostly unworthy of dissemination by media elites. Another "science," however, provides a target-rich environment, and "A Jealous God" strips away its stealthy patina, exposing it for what it is: a power grab by a self-appointed elite with a "progressive" social agenda. Shockingly, this book exposes the eugenics roots of the stem cell research movement, and those roots are steeped in racism, as the author makes painfully clear. These benevolent folks would reengineer our very substance, and, as the author shows, are arrogant enough to believe that they are actually entitled to force all of us to fund their efforts! The tale of California's Prop 71- where taxpayers own only the risk, with no chance of return - alone makes this book worthwhile.

Like the author, I am not a religious person. I am skeptical of revealed truth.Read more ›

A Slam Dunk!

By Robert Richards on November 2, 2005

Format: Hardcover

Heard her on the radio here last week and had to buy the book, even though it's not the kind of thing I usually read. But I read it in one sitting. It' impossible to put down. I just loaned it to a friend who says the same thing.

Finally, a book filled with fact and measured analysis, not empty rhetoric. Winnick, an attorney and journalist, uses both skill-sets to adroitly slam the pretentious world of elite scientists and "ethicists" and expose their truly disturbing, sometimes racist agenda. Best of all, she does so using real people and situations, so complicated issues are presented in dramatic, readable form.

What's particularly great is how she's able to explain complicated science in very simple terms. For the first time, I understood embryonic stem-cell research and cloning and what all the fuss is about. While she clearly doesn't have a pro-life agendum against this work, she brilliantly demonstrates the puffery beneath it - and the economic interests. She's not a scientist but obviously she's done a huge amount of research, reading medical journals and so forth.

Her exposure of racism is amazing and based, again, on facts. She's taken the time to review hundreds of biology textbooks from the 1960s to the present, showing their subtle racist and anti-religious messages. Amazingly, these textbooks were written by those who pretended on the outside to be progresstive, but, as she shows, were scandalously racist.

She shows also how medical research has been so commercialized that it cares less and less about human safety. Her chapters on failed gene-transfer and fetal-tissue therapies are amazing.Read more ›

A Much Needed Antidote

By Enigma on March 7, 2006

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

Here's what science SHOULD be: Science is a method for discovering facts about the physical world. It doesn't preach anything, punish anyone, dictate anything, or subtly insert anything anywhere. The reason people use it is that it works better than any other method ever discovered and people have tried lots of other methods.

Of course, the scientific method is practiced by people, and these people have been educated in universities that have inculcated them into a philosophy of naturalism. Naturalism is inherently anti-religious so in order to play in the science world or teach in academia and to get the all important funding you too must become an anti-religionist. For science according to naturalism cannot stay neutral against faith. As a matter of fact Naturalism makes very strong statements a in agreement with positive atheism. So how this can be neutral, is farcical.

The interesting part is that naturalism has its own set of self-referential morals, hence why scientists can so easily justify doing experiments on human beings. The scary implications brought forth in this book are that the scientist whom hates religion the most tends to produce the most morally egregious experiments.

The author of this book has done pain-staking research into the field. Delving into the perverse birth of planned parenthood via super racist Margaret Sanger. The book continues into other areas of bioethics that will leave your skin crawling. Make sure that you have a living will.

Part II is a masterpiece labeled The Politics of Biology and that is all that it is people. POLITICS. In a nutshell Darwin's theory of evolution, in the early 1930's, was in essence dead biologically speaking. It wasn't in any textbooks, nobody spoke about it. Science had passed it by.Read more ›
