Discarding The Scientific Method?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

Throughout history, sound science has been rooted in realistic experimentation. Last week, the National Academy of Science turned the scientific method on its head with a study that says we can permanently dispense with realistic tests of the very old nuclear weapons that ultimately guarantee our national security.

This is policy masquerading as science. The authors believe in complete nuclear disarmament and see an irreversible end to nuclear testing as a way to hasten that goal.

You don’t need to be a highfalutin scientist though to understand that we must have a nuclear deterrent for the foreseeable future, that realistic tests are necessary to ensure its viability and that we should not become party to a treaty that would preclude the sort of rigorous testing relied upon by good science – and competent scientists.
