Throw that in with the previous posts on the hominid neighbors that were supposed to be ancestors and descendants, you can see the human aspects of science:
- Smart guys producing scientific data with pre-conceived notions of what it should look like.
- Other smart guys with their pre-conceived notions about the other smart guys' pre-conceived notions producing scientific data, proving them wrong.
- The first smart guys starting the cycle all over again.
To quote again Dr. Anton: "This is a great example of what science does and religion doesn't do. It's a continous self-testing process."
Well, Dr. Anton, it seems that with scientists behaving like they do...y'know...like ordinary people + lab coats, the truth kind of winds its way along a crooked path.
And, maybe that's the way it has to be. What I'd like is a more even-handed approach to how the data is publicized. Dr. Hansen thru NASA has been trumpeting about global warming for some time now. Seems like a fundamental shift in what the data actually shows would be worth an equally publicized news story to that effect.
Still waiting...
