Re: COVID, Global warming, Evolution...all the same
Theories are only as good as their predictions.
How have the big three fared?
COVID - There is no immunity...whoops.
Global Warming - We only have 9 years to prevent a cataclysmic event...whoops.
Evolution - Everything is determined by mutation and natural selection...whoops.
You see the pattern? Absolutely zero discussion outside the narrative is allowed, even when the narrative falls on its face.

We also see how the scientists who backed the lab leak theory quickly backtracked when confronted by the man who gave them funding.

Re: COVID, Global warming, Evolution...all the same
While I disagree with the vocabulary, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment. In a society where left-wing "science" is venerated almost like a religion (if you didn't get your Ph.D. from a P5 school or MIT or you have a right-wing philosophy, you're silenced) and the "leaders" claim that the "science is settled," there's something VERY wrong. That mentality goes against the very nature of science, which has always been about checking and re-checking results with a questioning mind, ad infinitum. If the world had pulled this trash back in the day, Galileo would have been shut up, and Darwin wouldn't have gotten famous....SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 1:09 am COVID has gloriously brought the travesty of science to the forefront.

Re: COVID, Global warming, Evolution...all the same
There is at least a certain amount of truth to that -
There are wide swaths of scientific inquiry that can only be followed if you are doing it solely out of pocket- because you will not get a grant from any government that considers your work to be politically vulnerable.
If you ARE getting public largesse for your work, then there is pressure to mask inconvenient findings/conclusions. Especially when your income stream could be in jeopardy
On the flip side, profit is also a huge motivator, and it is the reason why, in less than a year, 3 different western pharma companies independently produced a wildly efficacious vaccine for COVID, using a highly advanced new technique. I don’t think enough people really recognize how absolutely amazing that is.

Re: COVID, Global warming, Evolution...all the same
I don't recall them ever saying there is no immunity COVID-19. As far as I can tell, it was always the case that people thought those who got infected then either never got sick or recovered would develop immunity for at least some period. Heck, if they didn't think immunity was possible they would not have worked so hard to get vaccines.SeattleGriz wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 6:38 am Theories are only as good as their predictions.

I've complained about Climate scientists not spending enough time emphasizing that they can't test their cause and effect hypotheses through controlled experimentation. But I also think what's happened over the decades since they started the "global warming" thing has been consistent with the general proposition. I also think that people who think what they said about having only x years (I actually heard "12" rather than "9") has been proven wrong are mistaken. I think the report that led to that is the one at https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/ and they are talking about the need to limit warming to 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. But they don't even think 1.5 above is going to be reached until sometime during 2030 through 2052. Then some of the bad outcomes they are talking about happen in years like 2100. So there is no way anybody can say they are wrong at this point.
I've complained about the dogmatic way in which Evolution is discussed before as well but I think it really does make complete sense and there are an awful lot of observations that are consistent with the body of theory. Also my understanding is that the advent and continued development of molecular biology has really strengthened the evidence for it as an explanation for what is.
Science is why we have antibiotics. It's why we don't have to deal with smallpox and polio anymore. It's also why we have vaccines for COVID-19 now that provide the potential to get out of the mess (though it apparently can't help us with the anti vaccine idiots). Lots of other things. We are a whole lot better off with it than without it.

I don't know but I don't think Climate Scientists were saying sea level would have risen 20 feet by now. And I'd have to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" to even know for sure that Gore said it because that is so far out of line. They speak in terms of inches (see https://www.climate.gov/news-features/u ... -sea-level as an example).AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 1:03 pmAnd where, pray tell, do you think Al Gore GOT that tidbit?JohnStOnge wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 8:42 pm
