Speaking of sloppy and lazy science, 600 years ago, the religious leaders of the day believed that the world was flat and that the sun and stars rotated around the earth.
Galileo had scientific evidence that challenged their beliefs, yet had to hide it or else face the wrath of the religious leaders.
What's changed since then? The beliefs of the religious leaders hasn't. The very same religious tenets that supported a flat-earth 600 years ago are still in place today.
Who's being sloppy and lazy today? Not the scientists. They're challenging and testing their beliefs every day. Are the religious leaders challenging and testing their beliefs for validity?
Pavlov's dog, I tell you. Salivate, Galileo, salivate, church, ring the bell pull the string hear the canned robotic response.
