Scientific paper

I will discuss some of the things I've learned about how to effectively combat antiscience activity at the local and regional level. It can be done without excessive drain on one's energy if the focus is on enjoyable, effective activities. Increased effectiveness can come from joining forces with people outside physics who have different skills and different perspectives. I will turn to some of the recently evolved variants of creationism, such as Intelligent Design, which has again confused the issues and made inroads into new US social groups that do not fit the "Monkey Trial" stereotype. I will briefly discuss "fine tuning" arguments in physical cosmology that may be used by ID creationists.
