Is There a Difference Between Trusting Scientists and Trusting Preachers?
#35
RE: Is There a Difference Between Trusting Scientists and Trusting Preachers?
Scientists (for the most part) are willing to test and re-test, admit when they've been proved wrong, learn from mistakes, don't believe they're infallible, and trust whatever the evidence suggests.

A Preacher is someone who has read one book and thinks they have the answer to everything.

Big difference.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
