Day 1

I have landed on the planet, known as Napter-4a. As I land the first thing I notice is the inhabitants look similar to my origin. Which I thank the Higher powers they do. Tonight, I will set up my research lab. Tomorrow I will go into the area which they all seem to gather.

Why I don't trust Scientists

The quest for undefiled wisdom can be a tricky one, especially for those who do not have the means to experiment first hand. So naturally the first thing to do is to ask someone who knows. Working out who to ask is the tricky step.

If I wish to know more about evolution or about life, I would ask someone who studies these things. A biologist will do.

If I wish to learn about the universe, its origin and what not, I think an astrophysicist would be the person to ask.

Now I know what you're thinking, “But these people are scientists, your title says you don't trust scientists.”

True, but do they say “I'm a scientist?” No, they go by the particular field they study.

A tactic I noticed with Creationists, people who believe that the universe and all life in it was created by a supernatural entity, is to have “scientists” back up their claims.

Case in point John Morris Pendleton. He has a series of video in which he attempts to debunk evolutionary biology, Big Bang cosmology and to set up the stories in the Christian Bible are infact historical and accurate. He feels as a labcoat wearing scientist he is qualified to speak on such matters.

But does he have a field of study? Apparently he does reveal it. The man talking about evolution, dinosaurs and Big Bang cosmology is a chemist. Yeah, a chemist is making videos talking about things a biologist, a palaeontologist and a astrophysicist are more qualified to speak of.

Now what is his first step in experimenting? Assuming the Bible to be true and working from there. In other words, he starts with the conclusion then looks for facts that supports them. Real scientists tend to look for facts first and then draw conclusions from them. These conclusions are then tested and if it holds out, it becomes a theory, which can be tested and tested by others.

This leads to another issue. Real scientists use the word “Theory” to mean an explaination of the facts and evidence. A model from which predictions can be made and tested. So when a so called “Scientist” claims that something is “just a theory,” then think about it? Why are they treating the word as though it was a synonym for “guess.” In otherwords something untested. A real scientist uses the word “hypothesis” for this.So if someone says for example evolution is “just a theory.” then they can't be a scientist if they misuse basic scientific terminology.

In conclusion, if someone is vague about the field they study, then chances are they shouldn't be talking about the subject they seek to debunk. If they have a field, is it the right one? IE, if they are talking about evolution, are they a biologist? And do they use proper terminology? What context do they use the word “theory?”
