35. DU'er Mother earth did not say that the actual scientific method has no value.

I think anyone who took a halfway decent science class in middle school or high school has been taught what you posted in your reply above.

But what she is trying to relate to you, if you would let her, is that the total control of the Corporate world over the laboratories of science means that right now, "Truth" is about as likely to come out of a laboratory, as it was to come out of a pulpit, back in the days of The Holy Roman Catholic Church.

Do you wanna know why we in the USA even have GM foods seeds, and crops here in the USA, while other countries are backing away from them? It is not because of any given study, but because Monsanto's "governmental adviser" Mike Taylor, got himself a sweet position inside the Clinton Administration, and from that position, he PROCLAIMED THAT GM foods seeds and crops would produce foods that are nutritionally similar to conventional crops. This was quite early on inside the history of those seeds, crops and foods, so there was zilch in terms of scientific data. (Back in the good old days, before the Corporations took over Truth, scientists would take decades to study a situation before publishing if something was or wasn't okay. But in our modern era of corporate control, no one even needs data - they just make proclamations!)

Science by proclamation is exactly where we are right now. And what became of Mike Taylor? Currently he heads an entire division over at the FDA, as Obama is just as eager as Bill was to get handed some $ 250,000 per speech at corporate podium when he retires from the Oval Office.
