(12,448 posts)My reply is about the professional skeptics and their dim-witted followers. The people that are paid to find an out, to block, ridicule, or otherwise obfuscate the questions, and those that don't know the difference. Actual scientists know that, above all, they don't know. That's why you go into science.
Too often we so-called scientists observe something that we cannot explain and instead of trying to understand it, just declare it insignificant and ignore it. Once this ignorance has gained consensus, further experimentation proceeds from a faulty premise and is inevitably wrong. Believing that we have found The Answers has held up scientific progress as much as any religious doctrine, especially in the fields of healing. Now, throw in the profit motive and it's no wonder that the rest of the world has left us behind.
