AT: Science is a process for finding truth in our material world. The blossoming of science occurred in Medieval Europe and continued to flourish until the early part of the last century, almost exclusively in the Western world. This was not coincidental.
The combination of the ancient Greek desire for free inquiry combined with the Judeo-Christian belief in an orderly universe and, most vitally, the Judeo-Christian primary value of honesty created in poor, small Europe explosions in thought that the old, rich empires of the East could not achieve.
It is also not an accident that the overwhelming majority of early great scientists were either among a small pool of ancient Greeks – essentially Pythagoras, Archimedes, and Euclid – or among especially devout Medieval Christians – (Friar) Roger Bacon, (Bishop) Jean Buridan, (Bishop) Robert Grosseteste, (Father) Nicolai Copernicus, and (Canon) Galileo.
Because these profoundly devout Christians considered physics and mathematics simply another manifestation of a holy and ordered Creation, they never worshipped science. Lying was a sin, and lying about the nature of the world was a particularly serious sin, because it knowingly concealed the true nature of the world. MORE
Most excellent read- thank you for posting.
I think the left is using the same play book for global warming as they did for evolution. They have been successful at banishing anyone that questioned the horribly flawed theory of evolution and as the linked article points out, they are attempting to do the same to anyone that questions the global warming dogma using the same tactics.
In both cases, they are using fraudulent “science” as a cudgel to force their twisted worldview on society with no concern for the people they damage. All doubters must be reeducated, made a non-person through ridicule or now (if some of our “betters” get their way), be cast into prison for having the temerity to question the glaringly obvious nonsense of “climate change” being foisted on us by a corrupt, morally bankrupt bunch of grifters that we otherwise know as our “government”.
How can this possibly be? All this talk of science and not even a hint at all the major contributions from the muslims’.
So do I have to rethink my support for vernalization and eugenics?
This is just setting the stage for the End Times. Not now, not tomorrow or next year; but it’s coming. Our institutions have been corrupted, the “accepted” venues for political, religious and scientific discourse, hell – ALL discourse – have been taken over or are under attack. The internet is the only avenue left that truly allows free speech and they are going after that. Who’s they? Special interests who have bought just about every politician or control every regulatory agency. And the regulatory agencies are where the real damage is done; many of them were created under the direction of special interests and are run by them.

“Communism is a valid system- it works,” they said.

The Truth cannot be destroyed.
It can be denied, suppressed and crushed into the ground,
but like a seed, it will eventually grow and flourish.
