At least since Galileo, man has witnessed the folly of allowing
politics to drive scientific decisions. Yet that is exactly what may
happen in this session of the Maryland legislature concerning embryonic
stem cell research.

Does it matter if an activist who exposes the inner workings of the Klu
Klux Klan isn't open about how he got those secrets?

Science and Religion Have Often Stood Together
By Alan Cutler
Sunday, January 8, 2006; B01
As a science-minded kid in the '60s, I loved to read stories about the
march of science against the unholy trinity of ignorance, superstition
and dogma. Dogma was the worst, and so the early 17th-century drama of
Galileo's persecution by the Roman Catholic Church for his heretical
belief that the earth revolved around the sun particularly captured my
imagination. Galileo was a martyr for scientific truth against
religious dogma. In my pantheon of heroes, that put him right at the
top.
