Come on Dav, don't get technical. If scientists are corrupt, then so is their science.The question doesn't make any sense. Of course science isn't corrupt.
Many scientists, however, are corrupt.
"Scientists are corrupt" is a crude and brutal generalization of people by their choice of work.Come on Dav, don't get technical. If scientists are corrupt, then so is their science.

Do you think science is corrupt? Do you think the scientific community is bias or corrupt?
It's not corrupt. It's incorrect.
That was the belief of the Greek scientists, why they have never made any assumptions, and why have they stopped advancing at some point of time.Science cannot build accurate models of reality as it requires too many assumptions.
That was the belief of the Greek scientists, why they have never made any assumptions, and why have they stopped advancing at some point of time.
Assumptions were required to make, even when inaccurate, in order to advance in research and technology.
It is true that as a result of assumptions drawing the achievements were not 100% accurate.
They were only 99.99999% accurate, and that is fine with the modern world of science.
If the scientist is corrupt than the data or observations can be corrupted.
Fortunately most of the time science is also self correcting.
Not corrupted, co-opted
All science is flawed. Science cannot build accurate models of reality as it requires too many assumptions.
Thats why those assumptions are called "Theories". And are subject to change.
Those theories work. Try holding a cement block over your foot and letting it go if you doubt their effectiveness.
There is a bias in Scientists, but not Science.
Science is objective. Scientists try to be objective, but they eventually create dogmatic principles which they hold onto religiously.
It's all complex.
Get a grip on yourself. We're talking about the poll. Why are you derailing discussion with your emotionalism?"Scientists are corrupt" is a crude and brutal generalization of people by their choice of work.
Some may be corrupt, others may not be corrupt, they are judged as individuals and not as a collective, a person who chooses to become a scientist does not become corrupt.
