Science Believers

[PoliticalChic]

The two words in the title are syncretic, meaning that they don’t fit together. Science is about experiment and proof, not about faith and consensus.
But, if you are a government school grad, the inaccuracy of that juxtaposition escapes you, and just like the political religion espoused in indoctrination school, science is no more than a religious dogma.
The concept of 'science' has been altered and weaponized by the Left.



1.The most dynamic religion of the last century is Leftist, and just like Christianity, the religion is aims to replace, it has denominations, such as feminism, and environmentalism…..Robert Bork put it this way: [It] “shattered into a multitude of single-issue groups. We now have, to name a few, radical feminists, black extremists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, activist homosexual organizations, multiculturalists, organizations such as People for the American Way, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), the National Organization for Women (NOW), and Planned Parenthood.”

2. And one that consists of ‘science believers,’ a political doctrine only peripherally related to science. An example of such is global warming or evolution, both central to ‘science believers,’ yet neither with any proof. And their champion, perhaps their 'pope,' is the pompous pretender, Bill Nye, ‘the science guy.’

“Who knew, when watching Saturday morning reruns of Bill Nye the Science Guy, that the enthusiastic, bowtied man teaching us about electricity would become the spokesman for saving our planet from certain doom? The out- spoken environmentalist gave an emotional speech at the Washington, DC, March for Science on Saturday.” Peter Wade, “An Impassioned Bill Nye Gave a Rousing Speech at the DC March for Science,” Esquire, April 22, 2017, News and Politics - Breaking News news/a54688/bill-nye-march-for-ence/.ence/.

I suppose a religion can have as many messiahs as it wishes.


The international Left, and their local subsidiary, the Democrat Party, have take technology and made it into propaganda.
“It has moved science from an area of life in which the truth is sought to one in which “truth” is what people with that identity say it is…. liberal causes and liberal-approved champions bathe in such coverage like a mermaid in a hot spring. If you’re on the side of the Left, you’re on the side of the media, and that media will shower you with love …. This sort of fan letter (above) is what happens when liberal activists are granted press credentials.”
Derek Hunter, “Outrage, Inc.”



3. With Bill Nye as case in point, try to see through the pretense, and recognize that Leftism’s ‘scientists’ should be seen as in those commercials…’I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV…”

“It’s frustrating to hear this president speak [about the coronavirus]. He should stop talking. Let the experts speak.” – Joe Biden, March 24.

“The truth is, from this moment on, Americans must ignore lies and start to listen to scientists and other respected professionals in order to protect ourselves and our loved ones.” – Nancy Pelosi, April 14.

Regarding COVID-19, the president should “follow the scientists,” and not just say “whatever suits his ego at the moment.” – Chuck Schumer, May 18



When ‘lockdown’ played into Democrat plans, they could find no end of ‘scientists’ who gave totally different advice from one day to the next. Shouldn't their 'scientists' have a clue about the subject they are called on about which to propound???

This is what existing within an ideological echo chamber ultimately does to people.

They are now literally anti-science, anti-education, anti-intelligence, anti-critical thinking.

I never would have predicted this. Never.

Vaccines cause autism
Windmills cause cancer
Global Warming is a hoax
You can cure Coronavirus by injecting disinfectants
Exercise is bad for you
You can nuke hurricanes

The 'science' that the Left points to isn't science....it's politics re-tailored.

4. “Democrats wrap themselves in the mantle of science and cast the rest of us as yokels. They’re the smart ones; we’re stupid. They care; we’re self-serving. They’re Galileo defending the theory that the sun does not revolve around the earth. We’re the medieval Church persecuting him. They believe in science, reason, technology and human progress. We’re charter members of the Flat Earth Society.
Many scientists have a barely hidden agenda. The Union of Concerned Scientists is George Soros with a test tube.” Democrats Invoke 'Science' More Than Baptist Ministers Invoke God - Frontpagemag



"Anti-science"??????


5. Let’s take a look at who is ‘anti-science’: 93 % of scientists acknowledge the necessity of animal research, as do 62 % of Republicans, but only 48% of Democrats.
Section 5: Evolution, Climate Change and Other Issues



Nuclear power plants? 70 % of scientists favor, as do 62 % of Republicans, but only 45% of Democrats Ibid.



The National Academy of Sciences found that genetically engineered food is safe. So say more Republicans (48%) than Democrats (42%)
Who's More Anti-Science: Republicans or Democrats?



“Republicans are more scientifically literate than Democrats or independents are”…with respect to belief in astrology, the need for control groups, probability, antibiotics, exposure to radioactivity….Check out the list at http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2011/03/republicans-are-more-scientifically.html

To conservatives, any science that does not support their dogma is “fake news”

 

[PoliticalChic]

6. “…, science is really nothing more than a tool, developed by humans for the purposes of studying our universe and the world on which we live. And scientists are human beings, which means they are prone to making mistakes. It would be just as silly to genuflect as a show of reverence to science as it would be for a carpenter to worship his hammer.

Sometimes the mistakes are honest, but scientists have been caught deliberately manipulating both raw data and processed information in order to help shape and control public opinion.


Science was never intended to be used as a weapon to bludgeon or intimidate dissenting opinions into silence. However, politicians and other authority figures have figured out that the only sure way to decisively win an argument is not to have one. They have begun to experience success by weaponizing science in an effort to silence any intellectual opposition. The basic strategy is simple and straightforward: anyone who dares to challenge the conventional wisdom (typically presented as the consensus opinion of scientists) will be mocked and ridiculed as “science deniers.” Why the Left is Weaponizing Science




Guess which side is being exposed.

Environmentalism I can see but why is "feminism" mentioned in a post about science? Is there a science of "feminism" that I don't know about? Not to mention the other non-science subjects. Did you read your cut and paste?

 

[PoliticalChic]

7. "The benefit to the Democrats of owning the media, as the Leftist do, is that they can make all sorts of claims about their being on the side of science, with very little possibility of refutation.


There is Nancy Pelosi “ falsely accuses political opponents of being responsible for the unnecessary deaths of innocent victims of an illness. It’s also a bit hypocritical to blame the intellectual opposition for killing people due to making bad policy decisions after encouraging people in San Francisco to celebrate the Chinese New Year on February 24th, after the virus was known to have already spread to the U.S. [as Pelosi did].


Furthermore, it is not “science” when governors like Andrew Cuomo can order the state’s medical examiners to list COVID-19 as the cause of death just because traces of the virus were detected during an autopsy, manipulating the raw data by falsely inflating the death count for purely political reasons.


The New York Times just published a front page allegedly filled with obituary snippets of people who died because of the coronavirus, but skeptics discovered the seventh name on the list was that of a 27-year-old murder victim. As one critic pointed out, if they couldn’t even find 1,000 names of real coronavirus victims out of nearly 100,000 death to put on the front page, how many others in the total death count are also bogus?” Why the Left is Weaponizing Science


Hence, the title, 'science believers,' meaning those who actually believe the bogus 'science' claims of the Democrats/Leftists.


Rule #1
Every argument from Democrats and Liberals is a misrepresentation, a fabrication, or a bald-faced lie.

Clearly, Democrat 'science' falls under Rule #1.

 

[PoliticalChic]

8. “… anyone who argues that consensus among scientists is important or relevant really doesn’t understand how science works.

No scientific theory is immune to modification or even being falsified by the revelation of new, better evidence. It is only by challenging conventional wisdom (or fortuitous accidents) that scientific breakthroughs ever get achieved, and new, useful information about our world or universe is learned.

According to these evangelists for Science, science deniers bitterly cling to God and their guns because they are too dumb to understand Science or know what’s best for them.
The only problem for these Science evangelists is that even a redneck layman like me knows science has a long track record of spectacularly wrong but very popular consensus beliefs that have been largely forgotten over time.

Remember, it was Andrew Cuomo (not God) who put sick people into nursing homes. The number of elderly people who died unnecessarily because of his policies significantly increased. ”
Why the Left is Weaponizing Science

 

[PoliticalChic]

9. There are so very many points of similarity between contemporary Leftism, and that of the Soviet Bolsheviks, that it is impossible to dismiss the family relationship.

The subject of Democrats/Liberals claims to be the party of science is actually a variation on the communist rejection of religion. Essentially, they replaced the religion of Western Civilization with their own version of religion, Marxism.

“Many educated people claim to not be “religious,” saying instead that they put their “belief” in science, and speak as though science replaces religion, which represents humanity’s mythic and irrational need for certainty. But under psychological stress, the quasi-religiosity of so much of that scientific belief emerges.

When we say (as some do) that we are science-trusting, and act as though “science says” some univocal truth, which can be revealed, on demand, we show that we are really only transferring the quest for certainty from religion to science.” Science Says

 

[22lcidw]

This is what existing within an ideological echo chamber ultimately does to people.

They are now literally anti-science, anti-education, anti-intelligence, anti-critical thinking.

I never would have predicted this. Never.

All of that technology created before the Progs took over just gets swept under the rug? We have not been to the moon in 50 years and counting now. The advances are in our own selfish pleasures. How many upgrades of I phones and computers must we see a year as one example?

 

[PoliticalChic]

10. Somehow, the fake scientists demand fealty for all, and, therefore, must eradicate religious belief. That's how you can tell that they belong to the Democrats.


“…there are scientists who shout from the rooftops, ‘Scientific and religious belief are in conflict. They cannot both be right. Let us get rid of the one that is wrong!’ And, not just tolerated, today they are admired. It is a veritable orgy of competitive skepticism- but a skepticism supposedly built of science. Physicist Victor Stengler and Taner Edis have both published books championing atheism. Both men exhibit the salient characteristic of physicists endeavoring to draw general lessons about the cosmos from mathematical physics: They are willing to believe anything.


Before one accepts the support of such “smart scientists” simply because of their vocation, why not question this scientific atheism as merely yet another foolish intellectual fad, successor to academic Marxism, or feminism, or the various doctrines of multicultural tranquility?

So, it seems that in our time, much of science is involved in an attack on traditional religious thought, and rational men and women must place their faith, and devotion, in this system of belief.

And, like any militant church, science places a familiar demand before all others: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Berlinski, “The Devil’s Delusion.



The Left’s attack on religion, and claims to be the science party, are two sides of the same coin.

 

[PoliticalChic]

11. “America, despite having been more religious than much of Europe in recent years, in some ways is also the inheritor of Europe’s 18th-century Age of Enlightenment’s cults of reason, science, and progress that argued that science would replace religion, by providing something akin to heaven on earth through scientific progress.

When I last looked two weeks ago, 7,000 academic papers had been published on the pandemic over the previous three months—many of them contradicting each other within specific fields.” Science Says





Which leads us to the question of whether Democrats who claim to be the party of science, are simply pretending to be more intelligent than the other party, or are they actually more knowledgeable about the science, in this case, the Chinese virus, and if they are…..



…..which of the contradictory versions of the many opposing statements by ‘scientists’ are they advancing???



Here are Democrats, with the ‘Often in error, never in doubt’ school of thought.

“This blind faith in consumer science causes more harm than good. Here is New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, on March 2, during a period when he and Mayor Bill de Blasio were encouraging New Yorkers to mingle freely in public:

Excuse our arrogance as New Yorkers—I speak for the mayor also on this one—we think we have the best health care system on the planet right here in New York. So, when you’re saying, what happened in other countries versus what happened here, we don’t even think it’s going to be as bad as it was in other countries. … We have been ahead of this from Day 1.

It was for New York, which has some of the highest COVID-19 death rates in the world. But not for his political career, so far. He is enjoying astronomically high approval ratings. He knows something about America’s secular religion, and he knows to emphasize whatever he recommends is rooted in a confident endorsement of American scientific and medical know-how.” Ibid.



So much for the religious denomination of ‘science believers.’

 

[PoliticalChic]

The two words in the title are syncretic, meaning that they don’t fit together. Science is about experiment and proof, not about faith and consensus.
But, if you are a government school grad, the inaccuracy of that juxtaposition escapes you, and just like the political religion espoused in indoctrination school, science is no more than a religious dogma.
The concept of 'science' has been altered and weaponized by the Left.



1.The most dynamic religion of the last century is Leftist, and just like Christianity, the religion is aims to replace, it has denominations, such as feminism, and environmentalism…..Robert Bork put it this way: [It] “shattered into a multitude of single-issue groups.

2. And one that consists of ‘science believers,’ a political doctrine only peripherally related to science. An example of such is global warming or evolution, both central to ‘science believers,’ yet neither with any proof. And their champion, perhaps their 'pope,' is the pompous pretender, Bill Nye, ‘the science guy.’

“Who knew, when watching Saturday morning reruns of Bill Nye the Science Guy, that the enthusiastic, bowtied man teaching us about electricity would become the spokesman for saving our planet from certain doom? The out- spoken environmentalist gave an emotional speech at the Washington, DC, March for Science on Saturday.” Peter Wade, “An Impassioned Bill Nye Gave a Rousing Speech at the DC March for Science,” Esquire, April 22, 2017, News and Politics - Breaking News news/a54688/bill-nye-march-for-ence/.ence/.

I suppose a religion can have as many messiahs as it wishes.


The international Left, and their local subsidiary, the Democrat Party, have take technology and made it into propaganda.
“It has moved science from an area of life in which the truth is sought to one in which “truth” is what people with that identity say it is…. liberal causes and liberal-approved champions bathe in such coverage like a mermaid in a hot spring. If you’re on the side of the Left, you’re on the side of the media, and that media will shower you with love …. This sort of fan letter (above) is what happens when liberal activists are granted press credentials.”
Derek Hunter, “Outrage, Inc.”



3. With Bill Nye as case in point, try to see through the pretense, and recognize that Leftism’s ‘scientists’ should be seen as in those commercials…’I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV…”

“It’s frustrating to hear this president speak [about the coronavirus]. He should stop talking. Let the experts speak.” – Joe Biden, March 24.

“The truth is, from this moment on, Americans must ignore lies and start to listen to scientists and other respected professionals in order to protect ourselves and our loved ones.” – Nancy Pelosi, April 14.

Regarding COVID-19, the president should “follow the scientists,” and not just say “whatever suits his ego at the moment.” – Chuck Schumer, May 18



When ‘lockdown’ played into Democrat plans, they could find no end of ‘scientists’ who gave totally different advice from one day to the next. Shouldn't their 'scientists' have a clue about the subject they are called on about which to propound???

The Liberal/Progressive use of the term 'science' is consistent with Rule #1:
Every argument from Democrats and Liberals is a misrepresentation, a fabrication, or a bald-faced lie.

...and with Rule #4:
For Liberals, feeling passes for knowing. Hence, facts, experience, history, reality…..none have any moment.



"Prof in Canada Fired for Believing Biological Sex is Real
This professor is an anthropologist. As anyone knows, when an anthropologist unearths ancient remains, they can typically determine what the person’s gender was through, you know, science.


Kathleen Lowrey, a professor of anthropology at the school, technically was fired from her position as associate chair of undergraduate programs in the Department of Anthropology for creating an “unsafe” environment for students, The Centre for Free Expression reports.

The reality is more of an eye-roller: Lowrey is known for being open about her non-politically correct opinions on sex and gender, which is known as “gender-critical.” In a nutshell, she doesn’t believe that sex/gender is a “social construct.”

While I am now politically supporting the republicans and absolutely never supporting Democrats again, when it comes to science, I will always go with that science that is considered more critically plausible, such as evolution. Otherwise, our schools would have us teaching a science class that would have its students learn the shaking of bead filled gourds, smudging, mantras and prayers to the invisible thingy in the sky, as science and that, that thingy just whipped up a couple of people, that spoke to snakes and lived in an Eden that was absolutely perfect (forget mosquitos, ticks, centipedes, flies, gnats, parasitic worms, bees, hornets, fungal infections, bacteria and viruses). At least in evolution various long dead remains and fossils provide the likelihood of it being rational and scientific.
As for COVID-19, The president has been getting conflicting advice from the CDC and NIH. As he is no Virologist, as all presidents have suffered from in their limited education, they can only pick and choose when the so-called experts disagree. In this case he is keenly aware that the survival of this nation is business and thus keeping people employed. As the old saying goes..."The business of America is business." So, he wanted this nation to open up as soon as possible, with some common sense actions, such as frequent hand-washing and face masks. Restricting people to their homes and nursing homes has had an unexpected result of increasing deaths in some instances. So, the president has done as well as any leader could, to restore this nation to its functioning status.
Your leftist loons would like to see the cities continue being locked down and job losses increase, in an effort to destabilize this nation further, in the hopes of gaining votes for those politicians in favor of Marxism/Leninism.

Otherwise, our schools would have us teaching a science class that would have its students learn the shaking of bead filled gourds, smudging, mantras and prayers to the invisible thingy in the sky, as science and that, that thingy just whipped up a couple of people, that spoke to snakes and lived in an Eden that was absolutely perfect (forget mosquitos, ticks, centipedes, flies, gnats, parasitic worms, bees, hornets, fungal infections, bacteria and viruses). At least in evolution various long dead remains and fossils provide the likelihood of it being rational and scientific.
As for COVID-19, The president has been getting conflicting advice from the CDC and NIH. As he is no Virologist, as all presidents have suffered from in their limited education, they can only pick and choose when the so-called experts disagree. In this case he is keenly aware that the survival of this nation is business and thus keeping people employed. As the old saying goes..."The business of America is business." So, he wanted this nation to open up as soon as possible, with some common sense actions, such as frequent hand-washing and face masks. Restricting people to their homes and nursing homes has had an unexpected result of increasing deaths in some instances. So, the president has done as well as any leader could, to restore this nation to its functioning status.
Your leftist loons would like to see the cities continue being locked down and job losses increase, in an effort to destabilize this nation further, in the hopes of gaining votes for those politicians in favor of Marxism/Leninism.

A thoughtful post.

Essentially incorrect, but thoughtful.


"While I am now politically supporting the republicans and absolutely never supporting Democrats again, ..."

Couldn't agree more.


"...when it comes to science, I will always go with that science that is considered more critically plausible, such as evolution.

There is no proof of evolution, either in the fossil record, nor in biochemisty. The teaching of evolution is based on politics, not science.

Another time I will go into detail, but for now....

"THE ABRUPT manner in which whole groups of species suddenly appear in certain formations, has been urged by several palæontologists—for instance, by Agassiz, Pictet, and Sedgwick—as a fatal objection to the belief in the transmutation of species. If numerous species, belonging to the same genera or families, have really started into life at once, the fact would be fatal to the theory of evolution through natural selection."
Darwin, "On The Origin of Species," p.302



There is no fossil record establishing historical continuity of structure for most characters that might be used to assess relationships among phyla." Katherine G. Field et al., "Molecular Phylogeny of the animal Kingdom," Science, Vol. 239, 12 February 1988, p. 748.

". . . the gradual morphological transitions between presumed ancestors and descendants, anticipated by most biologists, are missing." David E. Schindel (Curator of Invertebrate Fossils, Peabody Museum of Natural History), "The Gaps in the Fossil Record," Nature, Vol. 297, 27 May 1982, p. 282.



Darwin:
“Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms.”



“Consequently, if my theory be true, it is indisputable that before the lowest Silurian stratum was deposited, long periods elapsed, as long as, or probably far longer than, the whole interval from the Silurian age to the present day; and that during these vast, yet quite unknown, periods of time, the world swarmed with living creatures. To the question why we do not find records of these vast primordial periods, I can give no satisfactory answer.”
Darwin, "On The Origin of Speices," chapter nine

“The case at present must remain inexplicable; and may be truly urged as a valid argument against the views here entertained.”

a. Darwin suggested this answer: either ancestral forms of were not fossilized....or they had not yet been found. Charles Darwin considered this sudden appearance of many animal groups with no known antecedents to be the gravest single objection to his theory of evolution. In On the Origin of Species, he reasoned that earlier seas had swarmed with living creatures, but that their fossils had not been found due to the imperfections of the fossil record. p. 306-308

b. Agassiz: "Both with Darwin and his followers, a great part of the argument is purely negative.

and this:
c. Steven J. Gould reported: "In any local area, a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears all at once and fully formed." Gould, Stephen J. The Panda's Thumb, 1980, p. 181-182


Louis Agassiz: "What is the great difference between supposing that God makes variable species or that he makes laws by which species vary?" David L.Hull, "The Metaphysics of Evolution," p.69,


Darwin wrote in his Origin,
"Consequently if this theory be true (evolution) it is indisputable that before the lowest Cambrian stratum was deposited, long periods elapsed, as long as, or probably far longer than, the whole interval from the Cambrian age to the present day; and that during these vast periods the world swarmed with living creatures."

Darwin stated here that if his theory were true there should have been multiplied billions of living creatures evolving who lived then for millions of years before the Cambrian era on the earth. What evidence did Darwin provide for any of this?

He continued:
"To the question why we do not find rich fossiliferous deposits belonging to these assumed earliest periods prior to the Cambrian system I can give no satisfactory answer . . . Nevertheless, the difficulty of assigning any good reason for the absence of vast piles of strata rich in fossils beneath the Cambrian system is very great."

They are not mine.....but your analysis is very true.

Looks like PoliticalChic needs a Peanut butter and jelly snamich! Nothing she posts makes any sense, but PB&J does!

Have you considers that the post not making sense to you could be due to your lack of ability, or education?

A real possibility.


But.....I'll take the sandwich .....

No. I never considered that the post did not make sense to anyone. Just you.

I am not lacking in ability, and certaninly not education.

Just make a PB & J sandwich and heat it in a pan with melted butter and be done with it. Take the sandwich, PC.
