Yes, we must separate ideology from science otherwise we've compromised our scientific endeavors. Evolution is a perfect example of the dangers of mixing ideology and science. In spite of the overwhelming lack of evidence to support evolution, the advocates of the goo-to-you theory present this theory as factual. In addition to that, evolutionists demonize those who dare to expose evolution for the fraud that it is as scientific illiterates.

I call this agendascience because the advocates of evolution have put their desire for evolution to be accurate ahead of the objective facts that show it to be a fraud. However, evolution is not the only area where this happens. In the 2006 election, embryonic stem cell research advocates shamelessly propped up actor Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, in an ad demanding that federal funds be used for this controversial research.

To the agendascience crowd, the fact that research has not shown any promise in embryonic stem cells curing anyone of anything is beside the point. This is agenda, not science, driven and it is an insult to scientists who conduct themselves in a professional manner. It's also dangerous to those who could benefit from legitimate scientific research because embryonic stem cells are far more prone to tumor formation than cord blood or adult stem cells.

We cannot allow agendas to override objective scienctific facts. Otherwise, scientific research will be driven by politics instead of the quest for truth.
