The problem that some science has is similar to the problem with our judiciary. So much of our judiciary is built on it's self. What some court ruled 100 years ago. And it just builds and builds until there is no black and white law. There is no right or wrong... there's just this oligarchy built on itself, and often built on bad suppositions at it's foundation.

Science has done the same thing in many areas. And even Junior's post demonstrates that.

I was being sarcastic. Science's problems are nothing compared to the total misinformation and self-delusion of its critics.

Good point. A classic example is "global warming".
`Amenable' scientists--those with predilictions wanting research grants, peer approval & recognition--issue predictions, deductions, and they do computer models, and so forth and so on and on and on.
But when all is said and done, all those terms are just euphemisms or `dressed-up' ways of saying, "This is my best guess."
Scientists don't like to admit that their methodology is often just that: guessing, and they can get a little `testy', so that often it isn't enough for them to say, "Here's my research and evidence."
