How the Left Is Destroying Science

Science is a process for finding truth in our material world. The blossoming of science occurred in Medieval Europe and continued to flourish until the early part of the last century, almost exclusively in the Western world. This was not coincidental. The combination of the ancient Greek desire for free inquiry combined with the Judeo-Christian belief in an orderly universe and, most vitally, the Judeo-Christian primary value of honesty created in poor, small Europe explosions in thought that the old, rich empires of the East could not achieve. It is also not an accident that the overwhelming majority of early great scientists were either among a small pool of ancient Greeks – essentially Pythagoras, Archimedes, and Euclid – or among especially devout Medieval Christians – (Friar) Roger Bacon, (Bishop) Jean Buridan, (Bishop) Robert Grosseteste, (Father) Nicolai Copernicus, and (Canon) Galileo. Because these profoundly devout Christians considered physics and mathematics simply another manifestation of a holy and ordered Creation, they never worshipped science. Lying was a sin, and lying about the nature of the world was a particularly serious sin, because it knowingly concealed the true nature of the world.

The left must lie because they worship lucifer the liar.

Chromosomes determining sex are now stricken from the record and Gorebull warming is settle science.

The rise of Scientism and the beginning of a second Dark Age to bring the hard left to unending power.

Well, in academia, there is a whole movement to discredit the very “scientific method” because it is “Judeo-Christian/Western” in its origins, and thus is biased against non-westerners.

This is why goofball “global warming” can be accepted. They do not establish a hypothesis, then shoot at it from every angle seeking to disprove it-—which would prove it. Rather they assume it is right and only accept results that conform.

Climatology, IMHO, is NOT good physical science, there being so many unknown variables therein that even an educated guess is essentially as worthless as anyone else’s.

There is, as yet, no general theory of climate because climate is too complex. A hypothesis must be falsifiable. The academic and governmental hierarchies have entirely too much invested in one model of climate and defames any contradictory information. There are, however, a lot of climate scientists who are sincerely convinced the the current dominant models will be revised and proven out. Scientists are ornery critters who can’t always be depended on to do what they are told. Unless we go full Stalin, alternative studies will persist. They are being undertaken now but the press doesn’t report on then to avoid public “confusion”.

[Fred Hayek]

The whole labelled “Christian Dark Ages” happens to coincide with the rise of Islam.

So if it wasn’t for the pedophile false prophet, we could have been exploring the galaxy by now.
