The scientific method is a handy tool, but it is hardly infallible, and is being used by fallible, wicked human beings, all of whom are in denial about something, and many of whom are in denial about the most important facts of life, the universe, and everything. It's actually amazing we can get anything scientific done. We are fools if we allow supposed scientific 'evidence' to skew our moral thinking out of its proper ken.Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205311616949194893noreply@blogger.com
