I take it you aren’t a big fan of science? No, that's not it at all and typical reaction when someone points out the flaws. What I'm sick of is announcements that water was found on Mars 2.8 seconds after our robot lands there (no proof), that this building block for life was found here on this planet 9 billion light years away (lol) and so on and so on ..., that animals are gay too, and on and on with the retarded crap, honestly, I read the headlines today and laugh and am amazed that they report this stuff on the news and the massive just "believe it". There is real science, done by people who still use critical thinking, but they are generally frowned upon because their conclusions don't prop up the ideology of the mainstream scientists. And I'm not talking about Christian Scientists, I'm talking about scientist still generally interested in the truth.

Perhaps you should stop getting your science from the new media?

You are quite correct that there is a lot of bad science out there. The procedure for distributing public money for science grants has evolved into a system that fosters bad science.

If it doesn't grab a headline, confirm a pre-established political bias, or have some global implication, it doesn't get funded.

Private industry funded science only gets exposure when a company is seeking investors, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry.

Amen to that. If you cannot prove it, it’s not science just supposition.
