One thing I learned years ago. Even experts, despite all their educaion, experience and training can be completely wrong on just about any given subject.
Science is about evidence, not belief. This is how this outfit fails out of the gate.
In the 1700s scientists all pretty much agreed on the Noah’s Ark theory, but when Darwin found hundreds and hundreds of new species that where unknown in Europe (as was the true size of the earth), that sunk the Noah’s Ark scientific paradigm.
And a new one arose.
They still wont all ‘fit’ on the Ark (together).
no matter how many bones the ICR claims are missing.
Do We Always Believe What Scientists Say?
Of course not! These days that would be quite foolish. Listen but VERIFY!!!!
:: Many Americans are convinced that mainstream narratives are true—like humans descended from ape-like ancestors ::
If I, as a WASPy male in the heart of America, were to ask Eric Holder whether or not he confirms this (commonly accepted scientific) evolutional statement, what would be his response?
(a) He would discuss the merits of science, evolution and the common relationship of “homo erectus” in today’s world, or,
(b) he would call me a racist for equating him with an ape.
Now, contrast the same situation only, I am posing the same question to Thomas Sowell.
First, basically what is science: Science is the concerted human effort to understand, or to understand better, the history of the natural world and how the natural world works, with observable physical evidence as the basis of that understanding1. It is done through observation of natural phenomena, and/or through experimentation that tries to simulate natural processes under controlled conditions. What Science Is.
Second, what is not science: 1. Science is not a process that can solve all kinds of problems and questions. The realm of science is limited strictly to solving problems about the natural world. Science is not properly equipped to handle the supernatural realm (as such), nor the realm of values and ethics. What Science is Not.
Science is neither an invention of satan to tempt believers not is it a means of disproving beliefs and values, yet it seems doomed to constant misuse. Scientific examination begins with an observation and proceeds to an attempt to explain the observation in the natural world.
Science done improperly is not really science. Piltdown Man is often used as an example of the inability of science to come to objectively valid conclusions and why nothing science says can be believed. Actually, Piltdown Man was not science, it was and was intended to be a hoax. It was an intentional hoax and was proven to be so by scientific investigation of the fraud. All it illustrates is that scientists are capable of dishonesty and of being tricked. The answer to bad science is not to give up all attempts to make sense of the world around us, the answer is good science critically reviewed. Today's climate czars are often no more than the Piltdown hoaxers trying to force a consensus in place of peer review.
If people knew how scientists and professors make their money, they would question all scientific studies.
On a planet that is billions of years old, we have less than 10,000 years of recorded history so in spite of how little it is, most of what we “know” is wrong.
