Therefore, the government ultimately decides how scientists practice 'science', and thus, control the meaning of the word 'science'.

Ooooooooooh. That is really scary. So who exactly has been doing this? Where do they meet and when? Are their meetings secret? Do they publish their proposed meanings of science in the Federal Register for public comment?

'Science', then, is what liberal democrats use to spread godlessness, and to confuse ordinary citizens, who can't afford a private education, and so thereby prevent them from voting Republican.

Science is the reason you are still alive to post this paranoid nonsense on FR.

I simply made the observation that knowledge is a function of successful symbol translation. Symbols are assigned meanings by symbol translation devices ... like dictionaries.

I once did a word study comparison. Words like 'faith', 'reason', 'science', 'truth', 'integrity'... comparing them to Noah Websters orignal 1828 publication, and what dictionary publishers today say those words mean.

I discovered, scientifically, that the meaning of symbols has changed over time. Then I asked myself this question: who owns the devices of symbol translation? Who owned them 100 years ago? Who owned them 300 years ago?

From this bit of investigation, today's world of science, faith, and reason, and the conflicts among them, began to make, from a scientific perspective, far more sense.

A failure to teach the history of religious conflicts (a designed feature of secular schools) pretty much ensures the faith of science is the default religion. There's no need for a conspiracy if everyone is on the same page.
