I have said it before and I will say it again.

You would not know science if it bit you on the arse!

What I also know is that it is your 'bogeyman'. Science, facts, scientific method, analysis and accumulated scientific human knowledge,

stands between you and all your crackpot theories of Creationism and denial of medical issues and other scientific benefits to society, yet here you are typing on a computer and using all the accoutrements of modern life brought to you by the science of which you are completely ignorant.

What exactly is your claim to being a scientist? What original idea have you ever had or tested? What original comment have you ever made? Or do you just mindlessly repeat things?

You see, that is the REALLY cool thing about science. They have this system of cumulative knowledge and things called books, scientific papers and peer reviews where they all get together and compare notes and apply new ideas to their own work, or sphere of interest.

ANYONE can read about it, if they have a sufficient reading ability and intellect which understands logic and the step by step system of scientific method.

You should try it some time! it is really cool and time saving. Books have been around awhile, science text books slightly shorter, and now with the internet, one can get access to the real cutting edge stuff There is a vast compendium of scientific knowledge. I should know, my daughter works for a firm that actually runs subscriptions for medical institutions hospitals specialist doctors etc etc etc so that they can keep up with the ideas and amazing work of others and apply it to their own sphere.
