I listened to "Science" Friday on NPR today. I put the quotation marks on "Science" because in the typical liberal fashion, science was all but existing.
They were talking about climate change (no kidding, climate changes all the time. I don't need a bunch of "scientist" to tell me that) and they keep talking about the consensus and how 90% of "scientists" agreed that blah blah blah... Of course, those who disagree are immediately dismissed as "science deniers."
It got on my nerve because science isn't built democratically by consensus. Once upon a time over 99% of scientists agreed that the sun was circling the earth or the God created humans.
Science is meant to be challenged, questioned and denied if the challenge, question and denial are following the scientific method. We can debate whether or not the questions from the "science deniers" is following the scientific methodology but to shut them up by yelling "science denier" and "consensus" is far from being scientific.
