Creationists' Misuse of Quotations (2495 words)
Jeremy Rifkin, a philosopher and environmental activist, portrays in his article the world will be coming to an end if we remain to use bioengineering the way that we have been.
Gould believes "Rifkin does not understand science, therefore he misuses science for political and social purposes- or scientific racism." (Gould, 1985, pg 676) Rifkins outlook on bioengineering is not being totally against it, but as a method that is not useful.
Rifkin feels he has a say in anything, and these are his opinions on the matter at hand.
