Science explains things with a high probability of truth, and science meets with consensus. Really? How exactly are you defining science? The National Academy of Science, which you have cited as the apex of top scientific minds, includes in its membership economists, political scientists, and social scientists. Do you think your characterization of "consensus" applies to these scientists? Are you claiming that there is "consensus" among all economists? Do you feel that all political scientists are in constant agreement with one another? Are you asserting that all behavioral scientists are in consensus and explain things with a high probability of truth? (Have you ever watched a trial where scientific experts called by the defense AND by the prosecution testify about a defendant's claim of insanity?) Please explain your definition of "science."
