[QUOTE="RickN, post: 2752140, member: 8854"] Very good post and agree with most of it. Oh I have not lost my belief in science, only in a large number of scientist. Like I said, science has become a religion and there are far to many who think it can do no wrong while many scientist are is doing their own version of the preacher and the choirboy. Doing wrong and depending on the powers to cover it up. It has gotten so bad it has a name now, sciencism. The unfailing belief that anything a "scientist" says or publishes is truth. Never mind the Japanese scientist who fabricated a whopping 183 papers that got published, or the investigations going on into peer review fraud. People have stopped thinking for themselves or questioning things. Scientist are just humans and are no more infallible, and no less greedy or crooked then any other human. Right now there is a big push to publish and it is creating a mess. A good read even if a blog.
