Letter to Neil DeGrasse Tyson of the Hayden Planetarium, October 9, 2013
Dear Dr. Tyson,
The article I’v enclosed (“Entropy and evolution”, Am. J. Phys., Vol. 76, No. 11, November 2008) is so absurd that it disgraces all physicists in the United States. I am writing to request an interview so I can explain why the article should be retracted.

This is a matter of national concern because it undermines the integrity of science. I’v brought the matter to the attention of the staff of Yvette Clarke (NY-D, 9th district), and was told the matter is being investigated. My correspondence with Clarke is at
http://newevangelist.me/2013/04/12/national-science-foundation/.
I’v made a similar request to Leon Wieseltier of the New Republic magazine because he has written against scientism, and Marietta DeChristina because she is the editor of Scientific American and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Very truly yours, David Roemer

Letter to Leon Wieseltier, October 3, 2013
Dear Mr. Wieseltier:
I thought you might be interested in my campaign to get the American Journal of Physics to retract the attached article about evolution. It is a matter of national concern because it undermines the integrity of science. My congressman, Yvette Clarke (D-NY District 9), said the matter is being investigated. My correspondence with her staff is at:

In a nutshell, creationists have the incorrect but intelligible idea that evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics, according to which a cube of sugar will dissolve in a cup of coffee but will not un-dissolve. For the same reason, a gas will fill up the entire container it is in. This law does not apply to the evolution of stars or biological evolution because thermodynamics is the study of liquids, solids, and gases.

Nevertheless, a number of peer-reviewed and scholarly works in physics say that evolution does not violate the second law because of the sun. This is literally unintelligible, like thinking the planet Earth is a tetrahedron. The idea that Earth is flat is an intelligible error.

The attached article goes so far as to perform a fake calculation proving that the sun caused evolution. The article disgraces every physicist in the United States.
Very truly yours, David Roemer

Email to Marietta DeChristina, October 8, 2013
I have sent a number of emails to Scientific America at editors@sciam.com about the absurd article published by the American Journal of Physics (attached). I live in New York City, and want to meet with you to explain how much harm the AJP is doing by not retracting the article. I will be making a similar request to Leon Wieseltier because of his interest in the fallacy called scientism. The Scientific American is guilty of practicing scientism because its editors have ignored my emails.
Very truly yours, David Roemer

Open Letter to Steven Inchcoombe and Mariette DeChristina
The American Journal of Physics published an article (“Entropy and evolution,” Vol. 76, No. 11, November 2008) refuting the incorrect but intelligible idea that evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics, according to which a sugar cube dissolves in a cup of coffee but does not un-dissolve. The idea behind this pro-religion pseudoscience is that a protein is like a cube of sugar.

The AJP article argues quite unintelligibly that evolution does not violate the second law because of the sun. This is like saying a sugar cube can emerge from a cup of coffee if you stir it enough. The article incorrectly applies the thermodynamic equation for the second law to prove this nonsense. The editors of Scientific American have ignored my emails about this scandal. Most recently, Mariette DiChristina has refused to meet with me so I can explain the harm the AJP article is causing. In effect, Scientific American is collaborating with the AJP’s misconduct.

This is a matter of national concern because it undermines the integrity of science and promotes atheism. I filed a complaint with Yvette Clarke of the U. S. House of Representatives. My correspondence with the staff of Congressman Clarke is at

Letter to Executive Editor of Fox News Channel, January 15, 2014
Dear Mr. Moody,
I would like to meet with you in person to explain a news tip I have communicated to Fox News Channel through email (foxnewstips@foxnews.com, newsmanager@foxnews.com, oreilly@foxnews.com), telephone calls, and LinkedIn messages. The House of Representatives is investigating a hoax about evolution being perpetrated on the American people by the science establishment in the United States. I have not yet gotten a response either by phone, email, or letter to the attached letter to Congresswoman Yvette Clarke (D-NY, 9th District).

Nazi Germany transformed into totalitarianism from a dictatorship, which transformed from a democracy. In a democracy, news reporters cover up wrongdoing out of moral cowardice or for personal gain. In dictatorships and totalitarian regimes, they worry about going to jail or being killed. My point is that there are no small sins. Anytime you fail to follow your conscience, you jeopardize your salvation.
Very truly yours, David Roemer
