- fromthestart 8y agoHow do you improve understanding if you've decided that something is true and forbidden any questioning of the subject? Science cannot exist without skepticism - otherwise it's just dogma.
- jf22 8y agoPlease comment in good faith and don't weasel around with wording. You know plenty of scientific discovery happens because scientists are further investigating the mechanisms of something. Nobody is studying cancer trying to prove it doesn't kill people. You don't have to be a "cancer skeptic" to further our understanding of the problems.
