This science has already been decreed.

Why wont anyone accept it?

Science, REAL science, by its very nature, is NEVER settled.

Observation —> hypothesis —> test

Test fails, new hypothesis —> test —> apparent conclusion that fits observations.

New observation, shatters original and subsequent hypotheses, new hypothesis (again) —> new apparent conclusion.

And it continues on and on, every conclusion being subject to new facts derived from observation, eventually resulting in some pretty reliable base for predictability.

Predictability blows up, go back and see if some observation of fact was missed, then re-evaluate hypothesis.

Eventually most of the curliques of thinking get combed out, and some good solid engineering can come out of repeated predictability.

Until it fails.

And eventually, every engineering design fails.

Because the science was never settled, nor shall it ever be settled.

I remember when all the geniuses declared butter, eggs, and other dairy products would lead to an early death. People I knew went completely off dairy products. I snickered at them. Then later on the same geniuses declared that dairy wasn’t so bad and you could actually eat more than one egg a week. Now they found that the “expert” who said saturated fat would make you fat falsified or faked much of his data. They refuted most of the “expert’s” findings. How many climate researchers fake their data? I would bet quite a few.
