The war of the words started long ago.
You might not have noticed then,
but now you know
that words don’t work the way that they used to.
Do we live in the upside down?
What happened to dialog?
What happened to accepted definitions?
When did science start to mean
“I think I’m better than you.”?

IF we dial it back,
this has been in the making for decades.
The hubbub over evolution versus creationism
wasn’t just a philosophical schism.
It was a wedge to crack the foundations
of education that had helped this nation.
It dredged up animosities
that had been put aside with more & more advanced degrees.
People were learning to see more diversely.
All it did was scare the ministry.
We saw the focus shift from conversations
to recitations of what the word theory really means.
Why did that happen?
We have ideas here on
This Week in Science!
