The Like/Hate Thread

[Rem-13]

The thing I like about science is that it doesn't say "This is how it is, that's it" and never recheck. They constantly reevaluate the information and check it for errors and make sure that it stands up to modern day information. If something proves wrong, then they correct it, but only after enough testing proves that.

That's how its supposed to work but there are plenty of scientists who treat 'established' theories and such as religious doctrine. Challenging conventional wisdom is seen as career suicide. The scientific community is pretty brutal in its inner politics. Its not as inflexible as Catholicism obviously, but then Religion is not in the business of flexibility.
