A Pledge to Science? That’s Something Congress Should Consider
posted on December 12, 2012Adam Frank of NPR advocates a national Pledge for Science, which would ensure political support for scientific education and research. However, he does not want the pledge to become a battle between atheism and creationism and believes that a commitment to science does not belittle a commitment to religion. Frank writes, “Standing up for science should be a no-brainer for us. We are a nation that has shown, many times, how much we value the endless possibilities flowing from the pursuit of knowledge, not the least of which include a lasting peace and a generous prosperity for everyone.”
