Science decided that they didn’t like the old accepted facts, so they have made up new accepted facts.

I used to reserve such criticism for the social sciences, but the hard sciences have proven themselves just as free with the facts, e.g. climate change.

I don’t believe anything I haven’t satisfactorily verified for myself, including all the medical research I have to rely on in my practice.

Outside my area of expertise, I don’t even believe the hard sciences unless they are hard enough for engineers to verify the conclusions of the scientists with a widely proven contraption of some sort that has withstood the test of time.

Firearms come to mind. So do automobiles and planes, as well as BIC lighters, Gillette razors, and G2 Rollerball pens. Computers and electric can openers - not so much. Psychology - LOL!!!

Old-fashioned, Ludite, and proud of it.
