A famous and fairly recent example was when the fundies were arguing against gay marriage, saying, "if we allow that, next we'll be allowing incest and beastiality and underage marriage, etc."
Another recent example was Bill Nye arguing that a rejection of evolution will lead to losses in all sciences.

Except for the fact that he is correct.

Denial of the truth of evolution in the face of overwhelming evidence makes a mockery of the scientific method, thus damaging to all science.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
