science» is simply a way
for us to explain the world around us... nobody has ever seen a graviton but we know it warps space / time and that it interacts across vast distances but in a much smaller way than the strong

Nuclear bomb, in fact it was
science that created all weapons... so by your logic, Science is to blame for the Death of EVERY human being in Warfare throughout time except for those killed by rocks and sticks that are unsharpened and / or killed by use of barehands... Science has slaughtered BILLIONS...... of course that's nonsense

That liberals are just as guilty of antiscience bias comports more with accounts of humans chomping canines, and yet those on the left are just as skeptical of well - established
science when findings clash with their political ideologies, such as with GMOs,

for its endorsement of a blank - slate model of the mind in which natural selection operated on humans only from the neck down.
