  Scientific American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scientific American is a popular-science magazine, published monthly since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States.
Scientific American (informally abbreviated to "SciAm") roughly has a monthly circulation of 555,000 US and 90,000 international as of December 2005.
Though a well-respected magazine, it is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the sense of Nature or Communications of the ACM; rather, it is a forum where scientific theories and discoveries are explained to a wider audience.

 Scientific American   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
Scientific American is more, well, scientific than Discovery which tends more towards popular subjects such as Darwinism, under attack by a minority in the U.S. political sphere, but largely unquestioned in the scientific community.
Comment: Many readers complain that 'Scientific American' has fallen from its former glory, and that the articles are not written with the depth and expertise they once were.
I have learned often from 'Scientific American' what major experts say about subjects which are of great interest to me such as development of artificial intelligence, human evolution, the search for extraterrestial life, cosmology, and much else.

 Scientific American Lies for the Empire
The editors of Scientific American followed in the footsteps of Popular Mechanics in exploiting a trusted brand in order to protect the perpetrators of the mass murder of 9/11/01.
The column by Michael Shermer in the June, 2005 issue of Scientific American, titled Fahrenheit 2777, is an attempt to deceive the magazine's readers into dismissing the overwhelming evidence that 9/11 was an inside job without ever looking at that evidence.
The official story is not well established in any scientific or legal sense, but only in the sense of being endorsed by corrupt government bodies, such as the 9/11 Commission, and unquestioningly embraced by nearly all media.

 Greenspirit - Support Bjorn Lomborg - The Skeptical Environmentalist
Scientific American did not give Lomborg any opportunity to respond to his critics, even though they gave him a copy of the editorial before it went to press.
Lomborg's response was to publish the text of the Scientific American article on his own website and to intersperse it with a detailed response to every point raised by his critics.
Yet, the issue, as Scientific American puts it up, is whether my data is correct – whether the state of the world has indeed improved or whether the doomsayers have been right in claiming declines everywhere.

 Alfred_Beach- Scientific American
At this time Scientific American was a small publication, fourteen issues old, and included science, poetry, religion and morality in its pages (Alfred, Scientific 18).
In the first issue of Scientific American published by Munn and Company, in which Alfred Beach was a partner, the new owner announced that the magazine would secure patents for U.S. inventors.
At the 1867 American Institute Fair, in New York City, Beach built a plywood tube that ran the length of the building in which the exhibition was held.

 BLOG: SciAm Observations: A blog from the editors of Scientific American
Dave noted that the show had inspired the preemptive bombast one comes to expect from the global warming deniers--specifically, from Senator James "Global Warming is a Hoax" Inhofe, one of the least credible voices on environmental and climatological science in Congress.
A press release from the Senate's Committee on Environment and Public Works (of which Inhofe is the majority chair) castigated Brokaw for employing James Hansen of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, one of the leading scientific experts on the subject of global warming, as a scientific adviser on the show.
Hansen also conceded in the March 2004 issue of Scientific American that the use of "extreme scenarios" to dramatize climate change "may have been appropriate at one time" to drive the public's attention to the issue --- a disturbing admission by a prominent scientist.

 SciAm Perspectives
The non-biologists fighting evolution are typically not scientists and don't understand scientific proof, so the accumulation of evidence for evolution is not intrinsically persuasive.
Boasting that all scientific knowledge is provisional is not the way to build confidence in science among people who prefer the sure certainties of faith.
Their whole point is that ID is a scientific theory superior to evolution; they would embrace Cornelia's comparison and cast themselves as QM.
