You bring up another very interesting aspect, and that is the ability to perform independant verification. Using back the somewhat offensive example. If the birth certificate is faked, I can go test ...
You should be aware that in science, independent verification is impossible in many areas. Many areas and process cannot be reproduced. Therefore, they are just theories and many scientists use generally accepted theories (many of them cannot be proved to be the facts) to explains other phenomena. For example, the “Big Bang” theory and the theory of evolution.
Both “big bang” and “evolution” are theories, not facts. Scientists are still studying them and trying to prove them till they are generally accepted or till some other theories having better explanations arise from other studies.
I have also seen many people “blindly” believe in sciences and take those theories as facts. |
