href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unarius_Academy_of_Science">Unarians</a>, apart from the alien beings of light and spirits of Ernest Norman that the Unarians themselves would claim are leading them. Do look into the group, however &#8211; there are few examples of more amazing, incoherent gibberish on the whole of the Internet, and that is no mean feat. But it is also all fluffy friendliness (with UFOs). There is nothing fluffy or friendly about Donald Spitz. Spitz is a fundie anti-abortion activist who runs the website &#8211; and is a spokesman &#8211; for the anti-abortion group <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Army_of_God">Army of God</a>&nbsp;(described <a href="http://chrestomathy.cofc.edu/documents/vol2/altum.pdf">here</a>). He used to be a member of <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Operation_Rescue">Operation Rescue</a>, but was apparently too extreme even for them &#8211; beside, Spitz was a personal friend of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Jennings_Hill">Paul Jennings Hill</a>. He was also a firm supporter of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Waagner">Clayton Waagner</a>&#8217;s&nbsp;efforts to &#8220;kill as many [abortion providers] as I can&#8221; by sending thousands of anthrax letters to doctors in 2001, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Salvi">John Salvi III</a>, who attacked two abortion clinics in Massachusetts &#8211; Spitz held a prayer vigil outside Salvi's jail cell and was so outspoken in his defense of Salvi that he was asked not to come to Massachusetts. Needless to say, Spitz has been watched by the FBI for a while.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Spitz&#8217;s anti-abortion efforts tend to overshadow his other views and <a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/axp/2007/09/22/jesus-keeps-suckin-it/">various fundie efforts</a>, but he also rails against &#8220;filthy faggots&#8221; and &#8220;lesbos&#8221; (more on Spitz&#8217;s views on gay rights <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/12/09/anti-abortion-extremist-now-attacking-gay-friendly-churches/">here</a>), claims that Islam is &#8220;Satanic,&#8221; Arabs are &#8220;Rag-Heads,&#8221; and that Muslims &#8220;should not be allowed to live in the United States.&#8221; That would include President Obama, whom Spitz <a href="http://www.fstdt.com/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=47067">believes to be a Muslim</a>. Furthermore New York City is a &#8220;sex perverted cesspool&#8221; that richly deserved Sept. 11. His website has accordingly <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2002/winter/one-more-enemy">been noted for several instances thinly veiled racism</a>.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>Diagnosis: Hysterically insane fundie, warped to the core by delusions and fanaticism. He doesn&#8217;t have many followers, but his campaigns constitute a rather serious threat to society.</b><o:p></o:p></div> <!--EndFragment--> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div

width="130" /></a></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> By virtue of being a physicist, one would think that creationist Lee Spetner would have some aptitude for aligning his beliefs on science to the evidence. No such luck. Spetner spent years in Israel attempting <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Texas_sharpshooter_fallacy">to search for</a> evidence which &#8220;contradicted evolution&#8221; and favored his religious views. His conclusion was, remarkable, the one he had from the beginning: there was 365 originally created species of &#8220;beasts&#8221; and 365 birds, as detailed in his book <i>Not by Chance, Shattering the Modern Theory of Evolution</i>, which even by its title reveals <a href="http://evolutionwiki.org/wiki/Pure_chance_can%27t_create_new_structures">a profound lack of understanding of evolution</a>. In the book he also says that mutations <a href="http://evolutionwiki.org/wiki/Mutations_don%27t_add_information">do not create new information</a>, which is needed to drive evolution, and <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Beneficial_mutation">that mutations are not beneficial</a>&nbsp;as they lead to a loss of information. He also rejects <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Archaeopteryx">archaeopteryx</a>&nbsp;as a fraud &#8211; indeed, Spetner and Fred Hoyle were the creationist critics that really set the stage for later creationist dismissals of the fossil. Of course, Spetner and Hoyle based their objections on complete misunderstandings of an unfamiliarity with the data and relevant processes, tactfully concluding that the real scientists were not only mistaken, but frauds. The incidence, described <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeopteryx#Controversy">here</a>, should really have undermined all aspirations of credibility Spetner might once have entertained, but the creationists apparently never noticed.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> In short, Spetner&#8217;s book is a collection of creationist <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/PRATT">PRATTs</a>. Do you think Spetner <a href="http://evolutionwiki.org/wiki/List_of_creationist_arguments">deals with the scientific responses</a>&nbsp;to those PRATTs? Nope. Not a chance &#8211; the point was, familiarly, never to do science, but to win the public, and actually dealing with thorny scientific issues would presumably be too much. The purpose of the book is to replace the modern synthesis with a mixture of divine creation and a non-random evolution theory which he believes explains <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Microevolution">microevolution</a>. His book has been endorsed by creationists and intelligent design advocates who presents it as a the work of a non-creationist presenting evidence against central tenets of evolution, even though Spetner is, in fact, an outspoken, ardent creationist (as discussed <a href="http://www.talkreason.org/articles/spetner.cfm">here</a>). Indeed, when <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/evolutionblog/2013/05/22/the-ball-state-kerfuffle/">the 2013 Ball State kerfuffle</a>&nbsp;&#8211; erupted due to creationist Eric Hedin wanting to disguise fundamentalist evangelicism as a biology course at Ball State University, Spetner&#8217;s work was on the reading list &#8211; despite Spetner&#8217;s obvious lack of understanding of even the basic tenets of biology or, for that matter, probability theory; there is a wonderful takedown of Spetner&#8217;s attempt to use mathematical modeling to undermine evolution <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2007/05/02/using-bad-math-to-create-bad-m-1/">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> He is also a signatory to the Discovery Institute petition <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/A_Scientific_Dissent_from_Darwinism">A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism</a>.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>Diagnosis: Nothing more than your standard fundamentalist denialist creationist, really, though Spetner has somehow, occasionally, managed to pass as something else to those who don&#8217;t already understand what he is talking about.

width="183" /></a></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Glenn Spencer is a white supremacist known, in particular, for his anti-immigration activism. Though he used to be a standard KKK-style guy he seems to have realized, at some point, that wearing a sign saying &#8220;stupid bigot&#8221; wasn&#8217;t conducive to public sympathy &#8211; yet his current groups, American Border Patrol, Ranch Rescue, the Minutemen Project, and Voices of Citizens Together (VCT) have all been designated as hate groups as well.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> Spencer is probably most famous for having bought a ranch a thousand feet from the Mexico/Arizona border, converting it to a hi-tech security zone complete with infrared cameras, aerial drones and motion detectors. The idea seems to have been to show the American federal government how easy it is to halt illegal immigration. Currently it serves as a base for American Border Patrol&#8217;s armed vigilante activities (covered <a href="http://archive.adl.org/extremism/arizona/arizonaborder.pdf">here</a>), which ostensibly take place on &#8220;private grounds&#8221;. There is a fine portrait of Spencer <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-files/profiles/glenn-spencer">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> According to Spencer he is countering what he seems to take to be Mexican plans to (literally) &#8220;reconquer&#8221; the U.S. Indeed, Spencer is (together with people such as Barbara Coe, who leads the hate group California Coalition for Immigration Reform), one of the main proponents of <a href="http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2007/summer/paranoid-style-redux">the Aztlan conspiracy theory</a>, according to which there is a bona fide conspiracy endorsed and backed by Mexico and, in some versions, by most Mexican Americans to forcibly take over the US (&#8220;The dream of conquering Aztlan lies deep in the heart of the Mexican psyche,&#8221; says Spencer; &#8220;[t]his explains why some are willing to risk death. Their goal is more than jobs, it is conquest&#8221;). <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> And, oh, he has also written the article &#8220;Is Jew-Controlled Hollywood Brainwashing Americans?&#8221; Just to prove to people that he is an insane, paranoid conspiracy theorist. In the article, he assured readers that <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Friend_argument">he had Jewish friends</a>&nbsp;but added that he featred that &#8220;this small handful of patriotic Americans are far outnumbered by liberal Jews who now <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/International_Jewish_conspiracy">have total control over our media</a>.&#8221; Obama isn&#8217;t doing a particularly good job either (&#8220;brainwashed Americans have just voted to commit national suicide&#8221; was his comment on the 2008 election).<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>Diagnosis: He does at least follow a rather standard pattern of rationality-related morbidity associated with paranoia and conspiracy theories, and there is little risk that his views will become mainstream anytime soon. But he has enough followers to make him dangerous.</b><o:p></o:p></div> <!--EndFragment--> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line

href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rep-souder-resigning-over-reported-affair-woman-abstinence-video">he resigned from Congress</a>&nbsp;after admitting to an affair with one of his part-time female staff members, and is as such relatively neutralized by now. But he won&#8217;t easily be forgotten, at least not by those of us who care for reason, truth, science and accountability. Souder is a truly fanatical religious fundie, which was amply displayed in his political positions (on the US&#8217;s Israel policy he said that &#8220;[T]he bottom line is, they&#8217;re God&#8217;s chosen people. He&#8217;s going to stand with them. The question is: Are we going to stand with them?&#8221; which is not a particularly fruitful point of departure for foreign policy decisions), and he got out of the Vietnam draft by applying for non-combatant status on religious grounds (though he was not opposed to <i>other</i> people fighting and dying, of course).<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> For those who care about reason and truth, Souder is probably most infamous for his support for creationists and creationism and for being a staunch ally of the <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Discovery_Institute">Discovery Institute</a>.&nbsp;In particular, Souder was heavily <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2006/12/19/creating-a-martyr-the-sternber/">involved in</a>&nbsp;trying to make a scandal over the <a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Intelligent_design_and_academic_freedom#Richard_Sternberg_and_the_Smithsonian">Richard Sternberg affair</a>&nbsp;(also <a href="http://www.skepdic.com/sternberg.html">here</a>). Together with Discovery ally <a href="http://www.americanloons.blogspot.com/2012/07/343-rick-santorum_18.html">Rick Santorum</a>&nbsp;Souder put out a report, the contents of which are simply not supported by any evidence, as part of a PR campaign for Sternberg, the Discotute, and the idea that Intelligent Design advocates &#8211; including themselves &#8211; <a href="http://www.pfaw.org/rww-in-focus/persecution-complex-religious-right-s-deceptive-rallying-cry">are victims of discrimination</a>&nbsp;(again, the details are <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/dispatches/2006/12/19/creating-a-martyr-the-sternber/">here</a>). <o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> As for solo stunts, Souder is on the record <a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/entequilaesverdad/2008/12/31/pardon-me-your-logical-fallacy-is-flapping-in-the-wind/">saying that</a>&nbsp;&#8220;I personally believe that there is no issue more important to our society than intelligent design. I believe that if there wasn&#8217;t a purpose in designing you &#8211; regardless of who you view the designer as being &#8211; then, from my perspective, you can&#8217;t be fallen from that design. If you can&#8217;t be fallen from that design, there&#8217;s no point to evangelism,&#8221; which may or may not be correct but is in any case rather entirely irrelevant to the science of biology. It is also one of the most blatant arguments from wishful thinking to the falsity of evolution (which Souder indeed took to be the conclusion) we have seen in a while.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> He <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/robertsons-aclj-files-anti-dc-marriage-brief-behalf-39-gop-members-congress">doesn&#8217;t like gays either</a>, because he is a &#8220;<a href="http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Family_values">family values</a> guy&#8221;.<o:p></o:p></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <br /></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <b>Diagnosis: Religious fundie denialist.
