The reason we can trust science and not the sickos who write comments like this is because science is - by definition - a self-questioning mechanism, thanks to which dangerous substances and corporations have been regulated. Question the right-wing 1% and corporations who push anti-science propaganda.

Way to try to spin this one around, Socks.

Science is itself founded on questions.

Implying that science isn't questioned is itself spin. The spin in this case is political, implying that government regulation that's based on science should not be trusted, whereas government regulation should be based on science, rather than the opinions of the right-wing politicians pushing the anti-science propaganda. Why trust those asshats? (I say rhetorically.)

Does science change, or does information change?

The information.

(Classical exact science is a tool, involving a standard method and mathematical analysis.)
