Science - From the Latin "scientia", meaning knowledge.



Anti-evolutionists are considered by some to be "anti-science" individuals.



Do you think that, if there had been (and probably were), opponents of the development of the internal combustion engine, they would have been considered "anti-science" persons or heroes?
The point is not to slam internal combustion engines. I still love to hear the sound of a 68 Mustang and a Harley motorcycle.


The point is that the scientific community too easily forgets that it is oftentimes the very source of the development of technologies that have landed us in dire straits, i.e. climate change, in this example. So they need to lighten up when we are skeptical of them. They are not above making mistakes, even big ones.
