To quote an interview on Live Science:

I think science has always been under assault to some extent. I think there are fashions in cycles in which science is attacked for a period of time and is embraced for a period of time and it’s attacked again. Generally attack against science is part of a greater attack against intellectualism in general. I think right now we’re in an anti-intellectual period in the United States, but I think the pendulum will swing back in the other direction again. I agree with you that we’re not seeing anything now that hasn’t happened in earlier centuries.

That sounds about right. I myself recall being a “rebel” in church for questioning scripture with something so evil as “logic,” but there are plenty of researchers out there staring into microscopes and telescopes hoping to see the eye of the Supreme Being looking back.

And the swing is already coming like an axe blade as the younger generation not only uses new technology but has a greater understanding of it over their elders. Can you imagine an Arthurian Knight in a Connecticut Yankee’s court? “The magic that makes our cellphones work is called a ‘Network,’ but we have to shut them off in here because the Judge said so.”
