Do they? What record do they have that is supposed to make them trustworthy?
Scientists working according the scientific method have accomplished 100 times more in just 200 years, then in the thousands of years preceeding it.
Our entire technological society is the direct result of scientific inquiry.
Science is demonstrably the best method to find out how the world works.
You could be right.....but everywhere man has gone with science, it has ended up being used for sinister purposes.....its a "man and science", "hand-in-glove sort of thing". Lust for money is usually at the bottom of all of it.
Which is completely irrelevant to how the scientific method is the best method we have to come up with accurate answers to questions about the world.
What the findings of science are eventually used for, is completely irrelevant to the fact that science comes up with accurate findings.
As a matter of fact...... the entire idea that "men use the findings of science for evil",
acknowledges that science works. After all, you can't build an atomic bomb if atom theory isn't accurate. The nuke would not explode.
Science has been responsible for some of the most despicable disregard for the carefully balanced eco-systems on this unique planet, bringing it and all its inhabitants in many parts of the earth to the brink of extinction. Nature takes care of the earth and its creatures, but humans are not taking care of nature...the end result has a lot of people worried about the future
Dude... science is just a method of inquiry to get rational answers to rational questions.
Pollution, weaponry, etc.... all that has nothing to do with science and everything with commerce and politics.
As a matter of fact..... currently scientists are pretty much screaming that a climate crisis is on our hands due to the burning of fossil fuels. They are pleading politics to take action. And they have been saying this for decades already.
Is Trump science or a scientist? Did scientists reopen coal mines in the US? Did scientists retreat from the climate treaty?
Inform yourself a bit please....
The lungs of the world are currently burning and the custodians of that extremely important world resource don't appear to care.
Those custodians being
politicians................................................
At the feet of science we can lay the blame for much of the chemical pollution, air pollution, water pollution, and food interference affecting our lives on a daily basis.
No. All that is done by industry and commercial companies and politicians fail to regulate or take action.
Whole fresh foods are replaced with processed rubbish.
Again done by companies.
Climate change is now blamed for the devastating droughts that are affecting many nations, whilst others are drowning. The ice caps are melting at an alarming rate.....
And scientists have been yelling for decades that this is happening and pleading politicians to take action and nothing happens. Yet, you try to blame science for this?
Be serious please.
so, have all the scientific advances really been good for the planet in the long term?
Yes. How the findings of science are being used in commercial and political setting, is not something you can pin on scientists.
Nuclear theory for example.
You can use that knowledge to build hydrogen bombs or you can use it to build MRI scanners.
And in both cases, it's the one providing the funding who decides which is build.
They are now warning about the effects of 5G radiation....
"They", being scientists, by any chance?
but those with financial investments are making sure that no one has any concerns about it...its perfectly safe...or is it?
And those with financial investments, are commercial companies/organizations and/or politicians, by any chance?
Smoking at one time was perfectly safe and so was asbestos....
And then, through science, it was discovered that it wasn't.
Science has basically killed God in the minds of those not disposed to being spiritually minded, so many people now think that science is God......but how trustworthy have they ever really been in the past? Is the trust misplaced...I believe it is.
Arguing strawmen while using faulty premises, does not an argument make...
It s a long way to fall.
