But you cite scientific conclusions as though you can vouch for them.I do not single religion out except in so much that this thread has a subject heading to which I responded. And I am not a scientist.
It's very easy to design a study that confirms an a priori conclusion simply by not giving an alternate hypothesis a chance. Unless one is trained in research design and unless one has an opportunity to evaluate a given study's methodology, one has no way of determining whether or not an investigator has designed such a systematically biased study.
For the average consumer, scientific conclusions are just pretentious and esoteric nonsense. Why would any reasonable person base their world view on science given these obvious problems?
