You Can't Trust Science! "Science has an agenda! Science is unreliable!" If you've ever heard a religious person say these words, you'll love this videoScience is all about evidence. It is based in reality, in facts and in testable evidence -- individual reputations do not change scientific facts, nor does belief, brainwashing and coercion. Scientists test and re-test scientific hypotheses about how the universe is put together and how it functions using the latest cutting-edge technologies. Despite this, there are adults who are taken seriously when they loudly declare: "Science has an agenda! Science is unreliable!" Using this distraction to begin a conversation that they want to dominate, these people then pontificate about their personal fantasy life as if it is real, demanding that everyone else in the world share their particular delusions, and they are taken seriously -- without having to produce a shred of real evidence to support their statements.GrrlScientistguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
