I debated on the best way to put my comment, but apparently failed.
My point is that scientists ignore their own method in determining their conclusions. For example; If I, as a scientist, ignore important climate factors because I believe I know what is going to happen, i.e the world will get progressively warmer, there is a good chance my conclusion will be wrong.
That was one of my possible interpretations of your comment. I agree with you: at the point when science ceases to follow the laws and methods of science, it ceases to be science. The Big Bang Theory also comes to mind.
But ignoring the scientific method makes it go away.
ReplyDeleteWill,
ReplyDeleteYour comment makes no sense to me.
Among those who have posted comments so far, Will, you are now 1 for three on making sense. Assuming it makes sense to you, that is.
