Also on their anti-science agenda is anthropology, sociology, psychology, engineering, physics, chemistry, geology, biology, and astronomy. They are attempting to set back science education 150 years. This has to stop.
It's not that I doubt you. Believe me, that is not the case, but how do they want to re work engineering and why?
Engineering, like so many other scientific disciplines, relies on the fundamental laws of nature (i.e., thermodynamics, and many others). If you've read any of these creationist web sites, you will note that they are trying to refute these fundamental laws in ways that can affect even applied scientific disciplines such as engineering. I'll be the first to admit that they have not made strong inroads in this area for obvious reasons, but that hasn't stopped them from trying.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
