How fake experts are used to mislead

[Jay313 (Jay Johnson)]

@EricMH

the key is to get past the experts and look at what the actual daya says

And who do you think collected that data? A bunch of non-experts?

@EricMH

the problem is science has become the new priesthood, we need to bring it out of the ivory towers and back into the hands of the people

How about some empty rhetoric. Exactly how do you propose to put science “back into the hands of the people”? Silliness on steroids.

@EricMH

many of the ideas that motivated eugenics and racism are still mainstream today, cough darwinism cough

Here’s what I see: A guy who can’t accept the mainstream, well-accepted science of evolution and thinks he can overturn the whole of biology armed solely with his laptop climbs on the nearest soapbox to warn everyone that we can’t always trust the science. Forgive me if I’m not impressed.

You and your friends at the DI are part of the problem, not the solution. Too many churchgoers have been fed a steady diet of anti-science propaganda for too long. Now that we need them to listen to the scientists in order to save lives, it’s too late. They’ve acquired herd immunity to the truth.
