When you are told to "trust the science" remember that the science told us that bread and pasta should be the #1 component of our diets. This was taught at schools for decades.

If a study cannot be replicated, then it is not science.

Why are you defending these malicious actors?

If a study cannot be replicated, then it is not science.

Science advances by many misunderstandings. The thing that makes it science is that those are investigated and corrected.

Why are you defending these malicious actors?　

Malicious?

Newtonian mechanics isn't accurate. It doesn't correctly predict the advance in the orbit of mercury, and fails to predict relativistic effects such as time dilation and Fitzgerald contraction.

Is your position that Newton was malicious?

Because that's simply not the case. We know more about mechanics now, but that doesn't make previous investigations malicious.

This has nothing to do with science lying to us because they were bribed to do so by big business.

Scientists lie. Worshipping them is folly.

The United States Department of Agriculture isn't scientists. It's the government.
