The author is conflating Left-wing dogma with science.

Science uses the scientific method.

Left-wing dogma uses "consensus."

Science is wrong when the government involved extorts an agenda they must follow or they will not have a job.

What if everything we know in science is wrong and we have been exploring bad science for the last hundred years.

Then we wouldn't have invented semiconductors. QED.

Author needs to be a bit more limited in his scope, and a bit more precise in his terms. Could be on to something, but the idea isn’t well-expressed here.

Modern science is also run by consensus....it’s called peer review.

We have. Nothing that we have investigated or discovered is true. Your computer actually runs on trillions of little tiny gnomes. Even your monitor is made up of teeny tiny little gnomes with different color flashlights.

What if God is the answer to every mystery?

He is.

Who’s the nut-ball that wrote this? I can see that in court now, “what if the Defendant didn’t do it despite the fingerprint science! Not guilty!

Nothing is 100%. Absolutely nothing. However, those that ignore facts .... well .. historically they go extinct.

What a horrible article.

And one keeps telling me to “Go and Smell the Roses!”

He’s larger than all the other ones.

Well, then just how is it (to mention only a more-recent example) that those scientists managed to manoever the space probe Dawn to within a few hundred km of Pluto last summer, take a slew of high-resolution images, and beam them 5 billion km back to Earth?

Yhis is how they enforce consensus in science:

“Currently, most of these (scientist) doubters prefer not to be quoted, out of fear of losing research funding or of disapproval by peers.”

So Global Warming is real? Laugh all you want, but science is corrupt and the computer was actually invented and developed by private enterprise. Is the computer really science or a product to fill a need? Maybe your gnome needs to look into that?

Love how the “scientists” are so threatened by criticism. You actually made my point better than I did. Groupthink must be adhered to or else.

To stimulate discussion, I tell my students that Darwin’s perspective is the only theory that enjoys legal protection—at least in the US.

There are now over 3 million distinct species in the world, which - they say - “evolved” over a period of 60 million years. Thus, a completely new species (on average) every 3 years. Why did this stop? Who turned it off?

Science - using math - is still capable of asking the hard questions.

Relax, science is NOT wrong. Conclusions based on agendas are often wrong but conclusions based on science are not.

An apples and oranges argument. We have great engineers who can make a better light bulb, but is that science or technology?

Show me where Global Warming exists or real evidence of evolution. You make my point of the penalty of questioning science. You must obey!!!

Science is one thing, political abuse of science is another.
Scientists are prone to prestige, subject to bending under pressure, funding issues etc.
That's why we have the Scientific process to (hopefully) weed out fallacies. Eventually. Not always soon enough.
Add politics to the mix and pure science suffers.
Leftists claim they are pro-science but we have all seen how they cherry-pick, bend and downright falsify science to fit their political agenda.
