War on science doesn't have to mean you roll out the tanks, and send in the bombers, and I wasn't using it that way. But it does mean that you are both opposing science, and taking active steps to undermine it. Short of that it isn't a war on science. Hostility to science in general falls short of war on science, and is itself rare. Hostility to generally accepted theory in a particular area isn't so rare, but its not a war on science, and also its not a particularly partisan thing.

Just to keep things in perspective solon the Discovery Institute is as influential in the real world of human thought & idea shaping as a fly is on the ass of an elephant in a dust storm . Just using Dawkins site for convenience as comparison ranks 37k global ranking to Discovery.dunces dragging its useless wares over 10times behind @ 400k global ranking & dismal 80k US ranking . alexa.com Sciencemag.org as another example has a global ranking 7k & US ranking of 3200...so not to even worry , they'll die a natural evolutionary death thru extinction soon enough . There's no quicker route to demise than ideas that are based on chasing phantasms & who's time to die has come, clogging the air about humanity long enough.
