  Spirits, Witches & Science
In order to explain how and why the rise of modern science became tied to beliefs in spirit phenomena in mid-17th-century England, I think we need to discuss briefly a continental phenomenon at the end of the 16th century, and look at the impact it had on early 17th-century English religious developments.
A serious and concerted attack on beliefs in witchcraft and demonic possession had been launched at the end of the 16th century in connection with a series of spectacular exorcisms that were quite literally staged before thousands of witnesses in France between 1566 and 1599.
Weston's activities were commenced in 1585, but it was not until 1602 that a formal inquiry was held regarding his exorcisms.

In the lineages that her team created, spot size at one location had indeed uncoupled from the size at the other, she and her colleagues reported in the April 25, 2002 Nature and the Oct. 29, 2002 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
These papers dashed the notion that butterfly-spot size represents an example of a trait that's evolved under such a strong constraint that some forms, such as one big spot and one little spot, never develop, according to Beldade.
She and Jacintha Ellers, now at the Institute of Ecological Science in Amsterdam, analyzed coloration of clouded sulphur butterflies (Colias eriphyle) in Colorado's Rocky Mountains.

 Strange Science: Dinosaurs and Dragons
Starting in the early 19th century, scientists began to find a new kind of monster, extinct for tens of millions of years before the first humans evolved, but able to be resuscitated by science fiction writers — and Hollywood.
The creature was kept in the collection of the naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi, a cousin of the newly elected pope.
Dinosaurs didn't generally need to hang onto trees for support, but in all fairness, this was a pretty good articulation — and the first relatively complete dinosaur skeleton known to science.

 Bush's War on Science
cover story last March, Bush's agenda is "to systematically turn government science over to private industry by contracting out thousands of science jobs to compliant consultants already in the habit of massaging data to support corporate profits." This Administration's war on science "is arguably unmatched in the Western world since the Inquisition," he argued.
The changes, said Keusch in an interview this week, are intended to "escalate the levels of control over who can attend" scientific meetings and "what they can say" when there.
If Bush wins in November, the quality of science that informs policy making will be undermined by the suppression, manipulation and distortion of scientific knowledge.
