Science Defined

Some believe that "big science," one of the world's largest industries, was highjacked by political extremists in the 1980s. On closer examination, few can argue that a political coalition dominates scientific thought. As with other American institutions, the scientific community is religiously and politically cleansed. No God believers or conservative thinkers need apply. So it's important to define the different types of science the people are exposed to every day.

I go to "Voodoo Science: The Road from Foolishness to Fraud. By Robert Park" for assistance. Park delineates what he means by voodoo science with several adjectives to deplore the misuse of acceptable science.

Admitting that "science fascinates us by its power to surprise," he describes pathological science as misinterpreting events that lead to an inclination to see what is expected. I believe that evolution theory is pathological science. Scientists know there is no God so they backfill that conclusion with make believe feelings.

Park says Junk science is misleading lawmakers and others with little or no scientific proof or background. Environmental science is generally junk science according to many legal and credible scientific minds. Very little enviroscience is based on actual observations. The vast majority is gleaned from biased climate modeling.

Pseudoscience is a belief in space aliens who travel faster than the speed of light, or a belief that wearing magnets in one's shoes will enable a person to draw energy from the earth. Global warming is pseudoscience. Energy control advocates, growth management abusers, and fossil fuel haters are all segments of a political concept that is wrapped around the need to stop man-made-activities because they cause: global warming! This is political corruption.

And fraudulent science, is the evolution of honest error to self-delusion and then to fraud. The endangered species act is a good example of fraudulent science. Early feelings that habitat and fresh water quality caused reduced salmon runs were proved wrong. Yet the fraudulent scientists took the then discredited feelings to extort tax dollars from the government and to steal property rights from the people. This fraud is criminal.
