Tom Bethell
Edit ProfileEducation
He was educated at Downside School and Trinity College, Oxford.
Career
He says that neither evolution nor intelligent design is falsifiable. A resident of the District of Columbia, he has lived in Virginia, Louisiana, and California. He was formerly Washington editor of Harper"s, and an editor of the Washington Monthly.
In the The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science (2005), he promotes skepticism of the existence of man-made global warming, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome denialism, and skepticism of evolution (which Bethell denies is "real science"), promoting intelligent design instead.
Bethell was hired as a researcher by New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison to assist with his prosecution of Clay Shaw for conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy. Bethell gives no credence to Garrison"s charges that Shaw was involved.
Bethell has written at least one article (American Spectator December 98, Volume(s) 31 Issue 12, p 20 2p) where he states "Foreign about two years, I worked on New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison"s bizarre investigation of the Kennedy assassination" without disclosing that he was terminated by said investigation for providing Clay Shaw"s" defense team with information they may not have had a legal right to and certainly did not have a right to at the time he provided said information.
