by Magnus Pyke , Ph.D., F.R.S.E.
Science has always had its opponents: they were usually unintelligent, often not important, and certainly not scientists. Now, Dr. Pyke believes, anti-scientists are appearing who are themselves scientists. Because antibioticresistant germs have appeared, because rabbits unaffected by myxomatosis are about, because good housing and food as well as freedom from infection reduce the incidence of tuberculosis, they imply that the scientific knowledge behind the achievements of antibiotics, rabbit destruction, public health, ana much else was accidental.
Dr. Pyke argues that over-confident scientists may be the new barbarians, but that this anti-scientific approach is the new nihilism.
