Oh, brother. First Pluto is a planet, and then it’s not a planet. First, the Andes mountains are 6 million years old and then they’re 12 million years old. And now this.
Tell me again why so many people place so much faith in scientists?


Well, some people place their faith in God, and some people place their faith in scientists. It’s pretty much exactly that simple.

Good point about Pluto...Pluto is still Pluto...it never changes, only classification(s) changed here back on earth, but no explanations how we taught kids 9 planets in the solar system existed in our solar system one day and the very next day Pluto was demoted; but apparently some astronomers met and decided to remove it from planethood. Once again, science by concensus.

It could still be a “mini-planet”, but not all astronomers agreed with this, indeed some were pretty vocal about the powers that be meeting and a few making these changes and speaking for all astronomers on one weekend junket.

Of course anyone that approaches science with the same evo-fascism calls the astronomers making these changes “real astronomers” and those that don’t march lockstep with the changes: dumb, zealots, anti-science and what have you.

I would go into peer review of medications, food, etc and the obvious myriad conflicts of interests when human beings submit their findings from studying everything from wine to tobacco to their Daddy-in-law owning a winery in California but non-cultists understand this anyway. NO WONDER red wine is great for you in moderation one day and is practically lethal in moderation the next.

And once again, no one appointed liberals the gate-keepers to anything, above all science. It just didn’t happen.
