I'm pro science obviously, what would be the alternatve?
However, science is often done at the behest of the governement...
- govts, which lie every day.
- when not lieing, they are often wrong, incompetant, and biased by special interests.
- media does not report findings accurrately.
- due to poor education, people dont have the tools/time to do their own research.
Given this environment, a healthy skeptisism is quite "reasonable."
One of the examples, flouride. We know water is safe. A known party, a frequent liar, occasional incompetant, makes claims about adding a chemical to it for our benefit. Similar things have been said about drugs given to expectant mothers, about margerine, and high carb diets that later turned out to be false, just to name a few examples.
The barrier of proof is and should continue to be high.
