Good article.
This is why almost all of “social science” is ^%$, btw.
It is virtually impossible to go back in time and replicate initial conditions so almost all claims are impossible to verify using the scientific method.
I don't mind if someone wants to believe in Evolution, or in Climate Change. But, to me, these are religious issues that are dogma for the science community, but which should not really be considered Science by anyone. Nice ideas, comforting beliefs, if you are a certain kind of person.
