That’s what science is supposed to do. We don’t know it all and never will, but we can keep exploring, asking, learning more along the way.

I agree! but the trouble with many in the scientific community is the smugness of absolute certainty that they have all the answers, when in fact, they do not have a clue. So then they make up stuff of what might be and this bizarre speculation becomes a new theory that everyone clings to.

so the real question is who is paying the most for these answers.

I no longer trust any ‘scientist’ on any subject!

It’s true that science has become politicized, especially certain fields. It saddens me and alarms me greatly. Everything, it seems, has become politicized.

My Dad was a Real Scientist (chemistry and physics). He and his fellow Real Scientists were some of the least arrogant men you’ll ever meet. No one could have ever called my Dad smug. Real Scientists know they don’t have all the answers and say so. They have true humility, like my Dad and his friends.

Well, that generation is fast passing away. But it does not mean every scientist is now untrustworthy. The way I see it, being anti-science (as opposed to working for a restoration of proper science, Real Science), is falling into a trap, cutting off our noses to spite our faces. We have to do due diligence and examine scientists’ claims as best we can. This is bothersome and time consuming, but here we are.
