Switzerland built the hadron collider. American think science is the devil.
I blame the education system
I am a scientist. I graduated from a top 10 university and then got a Master's, at Univ. of Texas I got 75 post graduate hours. I taught science for many years.
I understand the history and this thought that scientists are somehow more noble or more honest than lawyers or car salesmen is false.
In the 1970s some crackpot science denier who was a Christian had this absurd theory that the dinosaurs were wiped out by a meteor. He was ridiculed and mocked for years until the evidence was overwhelming and then overnight it was "Oh yeah, everybody knows that". No mea culpas, no confessions, no repentance.
Why were they mocking him, because they were using their theory that there never were any cataclysmic events to claim there wasn't a Noah's flood. Simply propaganda to push an atheistic view of the world.
I recently drove to Oregon and the evidence to my trained eye (my graduate credits were all in sedimentation) of Noah's flood was overwhelming. To me it was like driving at the bottom of a flood 40 cubits deep. When I got to the Columbia gorge the evidence was astounding, in your face. I was so impressed when I saw a sign for the Columbia gorge museum I went to see it. I asked them about this flood -- the Great Missoula flood, undeniably exactlly like the flood described in the Bible, everything fits. So why call it the great Missoula flood instead of Noah's flood? Liars.
Then they come up with this hokey theory that as the glaciers melted you got big ice dams. Why, they are still clinging to a denial of the account in Noah's flood. We know that 200 large ungulate species went extinct on all six continents at that same time. Do you know what they teach kids in HS about that? They give them two theories, both absurd. One is that some disease spread through all six continents wiping 200 different species out. No evidence of that and our understanding of disease is that it is usually species specific as well as biome specific. If this is in fact what had happened it would be terrifying and they would be assigning major research dollars on this, but they know it is a lie, so no one would waste their career on that. The other absurd theory is that the humans hunted all 200 species to extinction with bow and arrows on all six continents. We tried to cause Buffalo to go extinct with repeater rifles and were unable. Not only so but where the skins? Where are the bones? why are humans killing all these animals without eating them, skinning them, and using them? They are liars. It is clear that Noah's flood wiped them out.
There are 200 different flood stories that neatly correlate with Noah's flood. These societies never interacted with each other. Everyone knows there had to be a major flood event and it couldn't possibly be simply the Great Missoula flood, it was obviously worldwide. Also, we recently learned that the Madagascar Chevrons, 1,000 foot high sand hills were formed when a meteor hit the indian ocean causing a huge Tsunami and sending massive amounts of ocean water into the stratosphere as steam. At the same time the Black sea which had been a lake was flooded as sea level rose (once the hot water came back down as rain and melted all the glaciated highlands ending the ice age).
Sorry to break this to you but scientists are every bit as sinful as anyone else on this world and will lie for money like anyone else.
