"What science today that you believe in is a fraud not yet exposed ??" I would only be able to answer that if I was committing a scientific fraud. So, no answer. Silly question. There was a post suggesting that scientists were intellectually dishonest as a class. None of your posts have dealt with that issue or informed it in any way. You have pointed out that there are scientists who have moral imperfections (who doesn't??) and there are scientists who can be deceived (at least for a time)--and who can't?? But nobody has argued against those obvious points that apply to humanity: The accusation (not made by you) that scientists (as a class or group) are intellectually dishonest...THAT accusation was ignorant and malicious. And I do understand that YOU did not propose that particular "argument" and that you were merely pointing out the obvious fact that scientists are fallible. And that has never been in doubt. You also pointed out they can be mislead (like all of us)--and that was never in doubt.
