Philosophical problems with science.

[Angrboda]

To a simplistic stupid person an attack on science is somehow an implication of a support for religion. If anyone here implies this from this post then I will gladly call you a dumb ass.

Nobody here gives a flying fuck who you call a dumb ass because you yourself are a massive dumb ass.

As to the rest of it, yes, popular conceptions of science are sufficiently naive and in error to be considered simply wrong. Professional understanding of the subject is incomplete, and, at best, a work in progress, with a long road ahead of it. But your complaint seems to be little more than a strain of anti-intellectualism which argues that it is wise to let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Yes, we don't understand perfectly, nor even well, why the method of science works, does that mean we should abandon it, or put its credibility on a par with things that are demonstrably ineffective? Yes, our conceptions of science, both popular and professional, are in need of reform. What do you suggest? Or are you just here to play the part of chicken little, and preparing to exit after crying that the sky is falling?
