The War on Science

Even many normally intelligent people do not really understand what this means. We have had only four hundred years of free thought and honest intellectual inquiry since the Enlightenment broke open the Dark Ages. Prior to that, all of the Western World (and by extension most all the world) was trapped in a murderous intellectual prison of superstition, illiteracy, ignorance, and servitude by the Catholic Church. For a thousand years, no one in Europe read a book, took a bath, or saw a doctor. Is this freedom? Is this truth? Is this the future we want?
