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.
