Secularists Lament Scientific Misinformation

The sound you hear is not she-wolves giving birth to broken glass, but of elitists in the secular science industry fussing about scientific illiteracy in the public. There is supposedly a spread of what they consider misinformation. Well, sure, people are not exactly hanging out in the employee lounge discussing particle physics or the ever-changing status of where australopithecines allegedly belong in the human family tree. Secularists are upset about the misunderstanding of consensus narratives by us commoners.

Several organizations perpetuate the myth of brilliant scientists being impartial and not prone to depredations. Some outfits even allow that there have been bad peer-reviewed papers that were retracted, but most of the blame belongs to the public. Whyzat? It would help if they didn't keep their problems on the back burner, and also if papers didn't reference bad papers for support.

Before secularists commence to blaming others, they should remember that there's not much critical thinking being taught in the indoctrination centers (public schools). Indeed, people need to be taught how to think, not what to think. It makes it easier for secularists to control the thoughts of the public when they have little skill analyzing what is being proclaimed from the ivory towers. It could very well be that secularists are angry that they do not have enough control. Just a thought.

Biblical creationists are irritants to those owlhoots because we try to teach people how to use critical thinking and spot errors in logic, bad science, insufficient research, and so on. Some of us don't worship scientism, and reject materialism and fish-to-fool evolution. While we appreciate and use science, we also know that biblical miracles really happened, God created the world in six days, Jesus was crucified and arose from the dead, people must repent and make Jesus the Lord of their lives, that he is coming back, and more.
