The author is conflating Left-wing dogma with science.

Science uses the scientific method.

Left-wing dogma uses "consensus."

Science is wrong when the government involved extorts an agenda they must follow or they will not have a job.

What if everything we know in science is wrong and we have been exploring bad science for the last hundred years.

Then we wouldn't have invented semiconductors. QED.

We have. Nothing that we have investigated or discovered is true. Your computer actually runs on trillions of little tiny gnomes. Even your monitor is made up of teeny tiny little gnomes with different color flashlights.

What if God is the answer to every mystery?

He is.

Who’s the nut-ball that wrote this? I can see that in court now, “what if the Defendant didn’t do it despite the fingerprint science! Not guilty!

Nothing is 100%. Absolutely nothing. However, those that ignore facts .... well .. historically they go extinct.

What a horrible article.

Well, then just how is it (to mention only a more-recent example) that those scientists managed to manoever the space probe Dawn to within a few hundred km of Pluto last summer, take a slew of high-resolution images, and beam them 5 billion km back to Earth?

To stimulate discussion, I tell my students that Darwin’s perspective is the only theory that enjoys legal protection—at least in the US.

There are now over 3 million distinct species in the world, which - they say - “evolved” over a period of 60 million years. Thus, a completely new species (on average) every 3 years. Why did this stop? Who turned it off?

Science - using math - is still capable of asking the hard questions.

Relax, science is NOT wrong. Conclusions based on agendas are often wrong but conclusions based on science are not.

Science is one thing, political abuse of science is another.
Scientists are prone to prestige, subject to bending under pressure, funding issues etc.
That's why we have the Scientific process to (hopefully) weed out fallacies. Eventually. Not always soon enough.
Add politics to the mix and pure science suffers.
Leftists claim they are pro-science but we have all seen how they cherry-pick, bend and downright falsify science to fit their political agenda.

Science is never wrong. Our interpretation of it often is.

IF everything we know in Science is wrong, you wouldn’t be posting thoughts on an Internet website.

I have contemplated that we may have focused too much on the mechanics of science instead of the art of science. There is no reason that they cannot be blended in order to make the world a more beautiful place.

None of this makes sense. This is like saying the sun is wrong for not coming out at night.

(Of course it is, Science told us in the 1930s when they found it.)

Much of the time “science” is wrong because “scientists” skip the scientific method to prove their settled “science”.
