Adding Henri's recent comments to David's, we now have a great start to a serious discussion of the future of science in American culture as well as the issue of the stature of the United States as a leader in the world's scientific and technological progress.
I hope others will add their perspectives as well.
When reading Henri's remarks, I noticed a great similarity between his statement that "our lack of willingness to criticize our own culture and to see our weaknesses leads us to a very unwise and appalling path" and the subtitle of a book that I just reviewed, Only A Theory: Evolution and the Battle for America's Soul by Kenneth R. Miller. Miller was the lead witness for the plaintiffs in the latest major Intelligent Design case, Kitzmiller v. Dover, in Harrisburg PA.
I'll be posting that review here after it appears in the Pittsbugh Post-Gazette, most likely on June 15.
