This downward trend corresponds closely to the degree to which Junk Science (that is, "science" unsupported by unbiased research and evidence) has invaded the realm of real science.
The desperate attempts by leftists to support their foolish, ivory-tower theories (man-caused climate change, "danger" from food additives that only harm you if you drink 1,000 cans of soda per day, socialism, horror at genetically-modified foods, fear of foods decontaminated of organisms by radiation, etc.) has resulted in drastic contamination of science by charlatans, demagogues, and other agenda-pushers. And yes, a reduction in the trust of what those leftists still call "science", by more normal people.
I expected such responses. Keep in mind that the Bible is full of allegories. Only a fool takes the interpretation of the Bible literally.
The most intelligent professors I knew in physics (two of which were very famous) both were Christians who felt as though the study of physics and mathematics strengthened thier belief in God. Perhaps you need to study a little harder, as of course, a cursory understanding of math and physics would lead one to the opposite conclusion.

I see what you mean.
Here is an example of your point.
Quote:
The term "junk science" was popularized by Fox News commentator Steven Milloy, who used it to attack the results of credible scientific research on global warming, ozone depletion, passive smoking and many other topics. The credibility of Milloy's website junkscience.com was questioned by Paul D. Thacker, a writer for The New Republic, in the wake of evidence that Milloy had received funding from Philip Morris, RJR Tobacco, and Exxon Mobil. Thacker also noted that Milloy was receiving almost $100,000 a year in consulting fees from Philip Morris while he criticized the evidence regarding the hazards of second-hand smoke as "junk science". Following the publication of this article the Cato Institute, which had hosted the junkscience.com site, ceased its association with the site and removed Milloy from its list of adjunct scholars.

Like I said, your mind is made up. You're the randomstudent. The fact that I'm unwilling to waste my time doing your research proves nothing.
Enjoy your bias.
Oh so since I am a student it now becomes my job to back up your unsubstantiated claims. Your are right though your unwillingness to do research does in fact prove absolutely nothing regarding your claims.
It is not unreasonable to ask for evidence regarding another person's claims. On the other hand it is entirely unreasonable to refuse to provide evidence to support your own. Thus it is pointless to continue.

Got an example?
Here is mine relating to the bible Pi:
Quote:
The table clearly shows just how far off the mark the biblical figure is compared to the other cultures. Comparing the percentages of error, the ratio in I Kings is three times less accurate than the Indian, eight times less accurate than the Egyptian, nine times less accurate than Babylonian and more than three thousand times less accurate than the Greek figures! So when Mounce insisted that we judge the accuracy of the biblical ratio by the "standards of the time", our judgment is obvious-it is hopelessly inaccurate!
If you look at the chart supplied in the link, you will see that of all ancient religions and cultures, the biblical Hebrews were the furthermost off of the true value of Pi.

Yeah, it's not as if they knew anything about circles back then. Wait, were there crop circles then?

Oh because two professors YOU KNOW believe in God and feel that math/physics support that belief that must mean if one studies "hard" and understands math/physics that should lead them to believe in GOD likewise.......Sure!.....LOL
That's about the most foolish thing I've read all week....LOL
Chew on this Bible beaters and start tap dancing.
The National Academy of Science charted belief in God as low as 5.5 percent among biologists and 7.5 percent among physicist and astronomers in a 1998 study.
I find it rather amusing the number of people that refer to science as if it were some sort of deity rather than simply a detailed process of verification, validation, and replication.
The objection to the issue is that there are people improperly applying the process in order to achieve a certain result.
Science is a process, not a person, a reputation, a consensus or some supernatural being to be lauded over people as infallible. The fact that some people are demanding people accept a given supposition through appeals to authority shows you they have absolutely no concept of what science is.
They have changed the meaning of it like so many other words and concepts. It really is a disgrace and a severe failure of our current and future generations as we have succeeded in devolving the intellectual nature of our society.
Have there been any scientific discoveries in the last 40 years that conservatives have agreed with? Or is all knowledge considered suspicious?
Because the "data" on "global warming, aka. global climate change" was proven to be falsified, only to push an agenda?
Because WE believe that a baby is human, even in the womb? This is simply proven by that new invention called an ultrasound. It is further proven by the fact that surgeons actually perform what's called....are you ready for this....prenatal surgery! They actually use the same techniques used on humans! How is THAT possible if it's not human!?
Funny how lefties believe in science as long as it presses their agenda.
