So…..we are going to need to put this man on my giant catapult and just fling him off my field, fling him right out of my kingdom. He has seriously annoyed me. Begone, little man, begone.
Anthony Fauci recently blamed the country’s ineffective pandemic response on an American “anti-science bias.” He called this bias “inconceivable,” because “science is truth.”-link here
The silly article then proceeds to try to make the case that humans are hardwired to dismiss coronavirus facts that don’t align with our worldview. What an astounding accusation. Au contraire! They have it exactly backwards. I am actually struggling (and failing rather miserably) to incorporate this worldview into my understanding of science.
So, science is not “truth.” It wasn’t truth when science suggested sailors would fall off the edge of the Earth. It wasn’t “truth” when it laughed at people who dared to suggest there might be a microscopic world invisible to the human eye. It is simply a tool we use to observe and investigate the world around us! “Science” is a non sentient thing, a non entity, without personhood. Science contains about as much “truth” as a hammer. To speak of something like “the hammer of truth” is a poetic metaphor, not a factual observation about the nature of hammers.
Science itself is deeply offended by all this science blasphemy, or it would be if it had any sentience of it’s own. Science itself doesn’t even want to be known as “truth,” because that perverts the very notion of “science” in the first place.
Pop culture “Science,” registered trademark, has convinced millions of young kids that they only have a few more years to live before rising sea levels and global warming kills us all. Heck, this kind of “Science,” has tried to suggest that biological sex doesn’t even exist and which bathroom we use is a total social construct. This kind of “Science” has been placing feminine hygiene products in the men’s room so non binary and transgendered people will feel supported during their menstrual cycles! This kind of “Science” decided to lobotomize and sterilize people and to conduct the Tuskegee experiments. It was the United States Public Health Service that thought it wise to observe the natural progression of untreated syphilis on African-American men who were only told they were receiving free health care from the Federal government of the United States.
I don’t have the time or space to list all the well documented, well known historical reasons why people might have a totally unrepentant, “anti-science bias” in America. The very real evidence of those horrors would fill volumes. The job of any public health service is to convince us why we should place any trust in you at all.
An “American anti science bias” is not “inconceivable,” it is healthy bias to have, one based on history, observation, wisdom, and science. I am not the least bit surprised by American anti science bias, I am rather appalled that there isn’t more of it going on! Science does not demand your unquestioning compliance and submission, it never has! Science has never demanded anyone’s belief or submission. “Science” actually wants you to question it.
It is totally inconceivable to me that people today would actually place their faith in science while at the same time demanding peer reviewed, cross referenced, scientific data proving the existence of the One who said, I am the Way and the truth and the life.
Why is Jesus “the way and the truth and the life” and not “science?” Because “science” is always heavily tainted by human sin, corruption, and politics, and it possesses all the moral and ethical capacity of a hammer.
There is absolutely no conflict between faith and religion at all, right up until the part where you start to demand that we unconditionally submit, leave our brains at the door, and repent to the god of “Science.”
Begone little man, begone.
Fauci? Is he still around? 😉. Jimmy Dore is way left but makes some sense here:

Yep. Glad he’s noticing some things are all wrong here. Dr. Fauci lied on purpose for the sole purpose of manipulating human behavior and put us all at risk, but allegedly we were just sacrificed for a greater purpose so it’s all good, and this is supposed to fill us with more confidence?? LOL! Uhm, no!
He made some really good points about how science SHOULD be questioned. Absolutely! That’s science. Question everything! If it’s sound, it holds up under questioning.
Social media censorship is just crazy right now! Completely unreal. Totally crazy. I was actually struggling over a “masked moose” the other day. It had nothing to do with anything at all, just a cute moose that got his head stuck in a shirt.

Yeah, ‘science’ is truth all right. The vendors of academic guesswork gd recently admitted they were ‘off’ as to the age of the universe and earth etc.
Yep, what’s a few billion years when u can hide behind ‘science.’
And btw, these clowns are still wrong.

Ah yes, I remember that, they were off by a few billion or so and finally admitted it! At best science is a well reasoned guestimate and prediction that you hope will someday be disproven by someone far smarter then you, LOL! This god like thing they are trying to command us to surrender to is something else entirely. Hubris, perhaps?

To be fair, we should at least say that true science confirms truth.
The level ie, does not lie, and as a scientifical principle, affirms He who changes not. When I built my deck I relied on the ever reliable plum line and level to keep me true to the plan/
So we can say that science contains the truth but is not the truth/ like our living rooms are IN the house, but are not THE house.
But true science? I’m all for it, and btw, for kicks and giggles, people had to be ‘swayed’ that there was an ‘edge’ to go over/ there is none, science says as much, but rest assured I am not dizzy because of a spinning ball which no one has seen. 😎

Amen, IB. Well said. Fauci (and the article) totally misses the point. It’s not because people are anti-science at all; we don’t really believe Fauci because we’ve been lied to, over and over again. The numbers have been inflated for financial gain, whole states shut down for political gain. We’ve been told it’s okay for thousands of people to be shoulder to shoulder on the street, rioting, burning, bullying people, and looting stores and destroying property, but it’s not okay for us to meet in a church, or to even sing in some places. The hypocrisy is mind-numbing.
It’s obvious that a lot of this has been politically-driven, not driven by actual science. And they have caused as many other social, economic, and health problems as they’ve tried to solve.
So, the more correct thing would be to say is, we don’t trust liars that inflate numbers, suppress data, and overreach, Mr. Fauci.
And let’s talk about the human condition that makes these news media outlets suppress any news that doesn’t fit their narrative. Maybe then, they might understand why they’re dead-last on the trust list. Maybe then, they’ll get a clue why we don’t trust them, nor should we.
So, yes, get the catapult ready.. 🙂

“we don’t really believe Fauci because we’ve been lied to, over and over again” EXACTLY! Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
“Though they have a form of godliness they deny His power. Have nothing to do with such people. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over the gullible, who are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth” – 2Tim. 3: 5-7.

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: (1Ti 6:20)
True science is about observation and measurable experimentation, not so-called “models.”
