Why would I trust science? Why would I put
my faith in people who believe “the building blocks of life” magically sprang
up from nowhere and accidentally created everything? The same people who once
told us Earth was the center of the universe, the liver was responsible for circulating
blood, and heavier objects fall faster than smaller objects.
Scientists pretend to search for the truth,
when in reality it’s all about proving themselves right. If they were really
searching for the truth, they would have realized DNA was important back in the
1800’s when it was discovered by mistake. Many important discoveries have been
mistakes. Hopefully they will stumble across a cure for cancer soon.
Oops, there is no such thing as reptiles
and Pluto isn’t a planet anymore. Katharine Sanderson, of New Scientist
magazine states, “Chemistry is a much fuzzier business than we
thought. There is a reason why ice floats on water, and it is called the
hydrogen bond. Whatever that is.” (http://www.newscientist.com/special/rewriting-the-textbooks). Whatever that is? Seriously?
In the 1950’s
biologists agreed that genes were made up of a DNA sequence that gave instructions
for making a protein: molecules that make up all living things. Now, “Such
harmony has vanished” Says Michael Le Page, and “What defines life's building
blocks? It depends who you ask. A single "gene" can consist of dozens
of distinct DNA segments that can be combined to make thousands of different
proteins.”
The test of replicability, as it’s known, is the
foundation of modern research. It’s a safeguard for the creep of subjectivity.
But now all sorts of well-established, multiply confirmed findings have started
to look increasingly uncertain. It’s as if our facts are losing their truth.
This phenomenon doesn’t yet have an official name, but it’s occurring across a
wide range of fields, from psychology to ecology. (http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/smart-takes/is-the-scientific-method-seriously-flawed/)
Our facts are losing their truth? If something is less
true today than it was yesterday it was not true to begin with. Science
is not truth. Science is a guess and nothing more.
