Bad Science

Liar, liar, pants on fire! See, the great thing about doing science with supposedly actual science is that if you are making stuff up you can be proved to be a fraud. Blurring the lines between science and faith, as proponents of Intelligent Design attempt to do, cannot receive the same fair scrutiny, even as it uses scientific sounding arguments and terminology. Dr. Hwang is toast, as well he should be.

From the NY Times:

Dr. Hwang Woo Suk, the South Korean researcher who claimed to have cloned human cells, fabricated evidence for all of that research, according to a report released today by a Seoul National University panel investigating his work.
The finding strips any possibility of legitimate achievement in human cell cloning from a researcher who had been propelled to international celebrity and whose promise to make paralyzed people walk had been engraved on a Korean postage stamp.
