Scientific truth is not a function of consensus.
The 97% have been wrong more often than right about the important things, including:
Galileo’s heretical and unproven claim that the Earth circles the sun;
Louis Pasteur’s ridiculous, dangerous and unproven claim that microbes cause disease and that his Rabies vaccine is safe and effective;
Alfred Wegener’s ridiculous and unproven claim that the Earth’s crust is made of thin plates that float on molten magma and cause earthquakes and volcanoes;
Robin Warren’s ridiculous, dangerous and unproven claim that bacteria cause stomach ulcers;
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek’s ridiculous and unproven claim that he sees invisible beasties with his instruments of the devil.
