"This antiscience crap is nuts. Science is what civilized us and pulled us out of the dark ages and into the age of enlightenment. It is why we now live so well and so old. It cures our cances and heals our broken bones. Everyone knows that. That is how science is taught in every (purposeful exaggeration) university in the world. Come on, that is known history. Good lord." I know of no one on this board that has reflected anti-science views. What I have seen is people who have pointed out disagreement with your view of the science, notable on global warming. This disagreement is related to their belief that there is no scientific consensus on the existence, nature and cause of AGW, and expressed in the many articles posted by Brumar and others, and the evidence that some of the data has been manipulated. The fact is that scientific fraud exists en.wikipedia.org and in my observation has been increasing. In addition I have found that when science becomes politicized it is often suspect. You have chosen to believe those scientists who support AGW, although as far as I can tell you are unable to explain the reason for your belief, while others agree with the opponents. It is not a denial of science to question scientists and not accept anything they say blindly. lj
