Galileo may have been forced to deny that the Earth moves around the Sun; but in the end, science triumphed. Nowadays, science fearlessly pursues truth, shining the pure light of reason on the mysteries of the universe. Or does it? As bestselling author, James P. Hogan demonstrates in this fact-filled and thoroughly documented study, science has its own roster of hidebound pronouncements which are Not to be Questioned. Among the dogma-laden subjects he examines are Darwinism, global warming, the big bang, problems with relativity, radon and radiation, holes in the ozone layer, the cause of AIDS, and the controversy over Velikovsky. Hogan explains the basics of each controversy with his clear, informative style, in a book that will be fascinating for anyone with an interest in the frontiers of modern science.
