I’m not much for science. I don’t have the patience for following the scientific method. It’s probably because my science teachers drained the fun out of science by making me analyze everything that was cool about science. Or I was just a terrible scientists. It’s probably some combination of both these factors I’m sure.
Apparently, though, many top scientists are not really practicing science either. With the recent scandal involving global warming, it should be readily apparent that while science is a sound discipline to discover how things work, scientists do not necessarily practice what they preach. While there are plenty of scientists out there who are in it for the discovery and willing to admit their assumptions are wrong, human behavior dictates that scientists are just as likely to lie as the rest of us mortals.
Scientists who are willing to lie about their findings usually are caught when other scientists are unable to replicate their results. The supposed '”gay” gene is one example where a gay scientist claimed to found it but no one else was able to replicate the results. Cold fusion is another example. The point of the scientific method is to safeguard against human error and to verify the results of the study or experiment.
But what happens when the institutions that have been established decide to adhere to a certain set of beliefs. Apparently, there are certain things you are no longer allowed to question if you are a scientists by trade. Among these things are evolution, the Big Bang theory, the HIV/AIDS connection, and man-made global warming.
As a non-scientist, I am probably not qualified to discuss any of these things. I actually don’t have any background in any of those particular fields, so I won’t be making an attempt to prove or disprove any of the theories I’ve just listed. I am wise enough to admit when I am out of my league.
It looks like, though, that there are scientists who are in these particular fields who are questioning things like that and they are being silenced by their superiors. While I don’t know all the details, these men and women are seeking out possible alternatives to things like evolution, Big Bang, etc. not because they necessarily want to disprove those things, but because many alternatives are worth looking into.
In a rational world, inquisitive minds would check all reasonable alternatives thoroughly in order validate what they believe to be true. Much of scientific discovery, from what I understand, is trying to prove the opposite of your hypothesis. Or maybe that was just a way to make a logical argument in philosophy. I could be wrong on that account. It still doesn’t diminish the point that a scientist must be allowed to pursue his or her hypothesis to the end and not be denied the opportunity to do so.
But the oligarchy that the scientific community has become is one that is more akin to secular naturalism, rather then true scientific investigation. They are run inquisitors who will not entertain the possibility that the reality they believe could be slightly different. Maybe evolution isn’t true after all (I personally don’t care either way because we’re here now due to God’s actions). If the possibility exists that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS, then maybe an effective cure can be found. If global warming isn’t happening (which I don’t think it is), then why would we be wasting all this money, time, and energy by creating more expensive, yet supposedly environmentally safe, products for people to us? Green is my favorite color (can’t you tell), but if going green is a shame, why should I do it?
Science is about certainty. You have to certain, otherwise the results could be disastrous. The problem is that science has become subject to the whims of political elites due to the government grants program, rather than being run on the private market. If science were solely a private endeavor, the profit motive would do better to ensure accurate results. After all, if a business doesn’t produce or produces a fraud, then the scientists are out of a job because they company fails to make money.
Because much of the science that gets reported comes from people who are funded by the government, the pursue a political agenda. And more often than not, this agenda is the Statists agenda. They are among the elites who wish to cull down humanity and makes us obedient sheep, thereby raising themselves to godhood.
Or not. Either way, they are blocking real science and that is hypocrisy at its finest.
