Follow the science!

As if there’s a consensus

Among scientists?

    I've read a little on this.
    Sometimes it seems, it's the 'system' opposing new or different things. Or so one scientist writes, from his personal experiences.

    So what? That's science and the way progress occurs.

      Just having a little fun at the high and almighty of the secular world: Science
      (And that’s coming from one who majored in science and works in the field of science during his day job - we’ve got to make fun of ourselves every now and then or it’s all going to go to our heads and we will truly come to believe that mankind’s utopian vision is all that there really is to strive for.)

        Got it - thanks for the clarification. (A bit of a relief, I have to confess!)
        Just got to suss out who your audience is.....

      • L. B. Mek

        Amen! Amen! Amen!
        where philosophy's wisdom is binned to annals of those deemed meaningless - archaic, and
        'theorised assumptions' are heralded as progression's youthful volition...!?
        lol, that hits the spot for me dear poet, bullseye!

          Thanks EB - I’ve been fortunate to come to understand that science has no standing outside of it’s philosophical underpinnings. The foundation of science is philosophy. Science can’t do the scientific method on itself - we only begin to understand science through the questions asked about it by philosophy. What a joy it is to keep pounding the old head up against these sometimes very difficult writings of the philosophers - how I long for a philosophical revival of sorts (coming from one who was denied a liberal arts education because it was totally stripped out of the 20th century American engineering college curriculum -)
