The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science is a 2005 book by conservative journalist Tom Bethell, in which the author makes questionable and highly politicized claims [1] on subjects such as HIV/AIDS, intelligent design, and the relationship between science and Christianity. It was published by Regnery Publishing.

The book received positive reviews from conservatives and was widely criticized by scientists and book reviewers, with Publishers Weekly summarizing it thus: "In the end, this book is unlikely to sway readers who aren't already in Bethell's ideological camp, as any points worthy of discussion get lost in the glut of unsourced claims".[1]

The Glasgow Daily Times described Bethell as "an ultra-conservative, right-wing religious zealot [...] who has been trying to convince anyone who has been foolish enough to listen for the last 30 years that nothing of science should be believed".[2]
