The progressive war on science

Reminds me of the women who went to she her doctor.  He asked her, "Madam, what's the priblem?"

She replied, "This is terribly embarrassing, Doctor, but I fart constantly.  The only saving grace is that they are silent and perfectly odorless.  In fact, I have been farting while we speak."

The Doctor immediately took out his pad and wrote a prescription.

The woman looked at it and said, "This is a nasal decongestant!"

The Doctor replied, "Yes, your sense of smell is clearly off."

Science should be questioned every step of the way. More damage has been done to The Earth and humans through science than all the religious zealots have done over the millenia.

The author of this article does not do much to convince. He even supports fracking which has TONS of evidence that it is not safe for the environment.

I uderstand about people who think so highly about science. Do you? It really is no different than the religious zealots out there; ready to point out why their belief is the right one. Please, tell us more about this difference you understand so well. And, that's OK. We're all human and are prone to this problem.

How do you know knowledge is so great? Just because it has done a few useful things? Yeah, only a few... Because it makes you feel like you have something when you have it?

There is absolutely NO PROOF that more knowledge makes the world a better place. Sounds like you need more knowledge.

Think about splitting the atom. 2 Of science's biggest creations are based on splitting the atom (atomic bomb and atomic energy) and both of them have caused more harm to humans and the Earth than any benefits have been derrived.

History is full of this; vaccines to cure that hurt, medicines that do nothing to cure you, chemicals that pollute The Earth, technology that distracts to the point that this knowledge people talk so highly of cannot even be consumed and processed to a useful level by an ever growing number of young people.

Yeah. I won't lie. I like some of the things science has produced. But, like so many things out there, it is dangerous in the hands of humans.

You might be dangerous.

Anything that'll keep you from reproducing.

Nope, not ironic at all. 100% The truth.
