Scientists wear no haloes of pure motivation as a group. In my mind they're around the same notch as used car salesmen and the lawyers that have those huge sticking out ads in phone books.

Yeah, those damn scientists! What have those crooks ever done for us? Society would be a lot better off without scientists!!

Society would be a lot better off without scientists!!

Right. Back to the caves.

[I think the real problem is that science is coming up with answers some folks don't want to hear. That's why the Wedge Strategy advocated "theistic science." (Paging Nehemiah Scudder!)]

Perhaps another list needs to be started also.

The one where the evo must warp and distort your message, infer conclusions you never made, even put words there you never said.

Then based on that, they scream liar liar ignorant retard psychopath moron.

I'm just saying that scientists as a group are no more trustworthy than any other group. Simple. Some are decent and honest, some aren't.

Not every pronouncement, finding, test, peer reviewed article etc put forward by scientists is trustworthy or accurate. A lot of people have faith in scientists the way some people have faith in God.

A better attitude is "Buyer Beware".
