I can't see one.
Yah. There are fashion trends in science just like anything else. Much of what we call "scientific fact" is really Political Correctness.
I could not disagree more.
There are no fashion trends in science, there are new facts/evidence/evaluations that emerge which make the current scientific view as acurate as current knowledge allows.
The scientific methodology is designed specifically to lessen the impact of what people "reckon" to be true and deals instead with what can be proved with the evidence.
Until there is evidence things are just a hypothesis.
Which is why the existence of dark matter for example is still debated, it explains a lot of phenomena but has not actually been found itself.(As far as I know)
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
