Well yes, if you define “Science” as being manufacturing a study to validate pre-determined political dogmas.

“Science” is regarded as a sort of religion by the supposed thinkers in the liberal establishment. And as such, it is not to be questioned, once it is “settled”.

But REAL scientific inquiry is never settled. The very basis of most research is to pose only a working hypothesis, until additional facts, which may not have been known before, become apparent in light of changed conditions and are integrated into the hypothesis, which may modify it in unexpected ways.

Everything you learned in school? Be assured, that before you die, fully half or more, will be demonstrated to be totally, absolutely WRONG in both its premise and application. But you won’t know which half it is until after you have already tried to use it as a basis for further argument.
