Name them and for what specific reason?

My argument is that as long as warlords in Africa are raping children, no one in this country should be bitching about anything

one may say that questioning current scientific standards and results is....science


And that's the reason that the whole idea of "settled science" is obscene.

It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn’t get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.

Science became the enemy when scientists decided to play the woe is me card for political gain.

Correct, except when someone claims science is wrong with nothing more than a "well I see it differently".
When someone questions science with nothing more than an opinion, that person just comes off as ignorant. It IS anti-science when you disagree with it on those grounds.


It has reached a much higher level today, rather than the scientific method, it is a world of science by majority opinion or consensus, opposite or dissenting views even among scientists are not encouraged.

All those doomsday dudes in the 70s and their ilk. They're the race hustlers of the scientific community.

Like the science that our sex is encoded in our DNA and that no amount of outside hormones or genital mutilation can change that. That a dress and your made up gender doesn't magically make you a woman.
