Oh, it sounds like we have a couple of real scientists here. Well hopefully, you are. The “scientists” that I detest are like Bill Nye the Science Guy who is not a scientist at all, he’s an engineer. The other scientist I detest are the likes of global warming, radon, alar, etc. There is scam after scam to scare everyday citizens to get the feds to protect them. And how about the ones that can tell you what happened 10,000 years, archeologists. And how about the ones can tell you want happened thousands of light years ago? Total BS.
Why the hell should I believe most scientists when they are politically driven?
Actually I think you are giving Nye too much credit by calling him an engineer. While he may have the credentials, I doubt he could engineer his way out of a paper bag!
PS I detest the same “scientists” you detest.
Just a side note: most real engineers have more than a little real scientist in them. They deal with facts, want theories proven, know that politics and agendas have no place in science or engineering, etc. After all, the bridge, plane, car, chair, or anything else engineered has to work or people can (and sometimes do) die.
