Good one, and all true!
One of my favorite answers to “Trust the science” is “Science is meant to be questioned, not ‘trusted’.”
Otherwise, it’s not science, it’s “faith.” (Granted, some have made “science” their religion, which is more accurately called “Scientism.”)
Exactly correct. I often have to correct persons who say things like, “I believe in global warming”, and point out that either it is a scientific fact or its a pagan superstition.
Remember, when global warming was first invented the federal government only funded research grants that offered to prove global warming was real. Universities questioning the validity of the global warming theory were denied federal grants.
