Politics is not science....apples and Volkswagons.
...but...not in my science world.....which is generally research articles pertaining to molecular biology and protein chemistry and actual discoveries at the molecular/protein level of things, not theories to make claims about. We either discover a new surface protein and publish about it or we do not......a new disease or not.
But if I were trying to argue that evolution is nonsense...I wouldn’t post an article that says “Dr. Strawberry says that animal X didn’t evolve from animal Y” as evidence against the ToE when that article later says that “Dr. Strawberry says that animal X evolved parallel to animal Y” because I wouldn’t be stupid enough to post contradictory evidence and think the evidence proves the assertion.
Put it this way.....I’ll fully agree the claim of the scientist in this article is valid. Thusly, birds didn’t evolve from dinosaurs........they co-evolved with dinosaurs, possibly from a common ancestor.
I’m OK with that. GGG posted it as “valid”, but I bet he’s not OK with that.
But the science is very much affected by politics, ideology etc.
