Yawn.
One's _politics_ colors one's worldview as well. To say, therefore,
that "Marxism is the queen of the sciences" would be patently obsurd,
especially in light of T.D. Lysenko and the harm he did to Soviet genetics
and agriculture over a half-century ago. OTOH, perhaps this is a QED. Both
politics and theology are destructive to science, _real_ science, because
they impose the blinders of bias, superstition and ignorance.
