Exactly, science has become very much like religion and scientists today's 'high priests'. Fortunately cracks are starting to appear in the whitewashed facade of the scientific ivory tower, such as what the editor in chief of the Lancet, one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world wrote:
Quote:“The case against science,” wrote Richard Horton, editor of the medical journal the Lancet, “is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue.” - https://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10...8119/full/
The issue isn't science per se. The issue is consensus science. Science could be our salvation if we collectively wanted to.
