STUNNER! - Public No Longer Trusts Scientists - Here's why!

Three stories this week, from separate sources, when combined make up one whopper of a news article. The first, from Yahoo news "The Lookout" documents the following.

"Conservatives, particularly those with college educations, have become dramatically more skeptical of science over the past four decades, according to a study published in the April issue of the American Sociological Review. Fewer than 35 percent of conservatives say they have a "great deal" of trust in the scientific community now, compared to nearly half in 1974."
The article goes on to provide the reader with their own versions of why this has happened, you know, blaming church attendance, etc.

We can use a multitude of examples of scientific fraud in nearly every area of study but let's focus on the news from around the world just this week alone. Let's move on to the next one. The Telegraph reported a science story this week which reads:

"New 'life in space' hope after billions of 'habitable planets' found in Milky Way
Billions of potentially habitable planets may exist within our galaxy, the Milky Way, raising new prospects that life could exist near Earth, a study has found"
Now - why is this an example of a reason to distrust the scientific community? The answer lies in the last story which was also reported on this week. For decades now the "scientific" community has been teaching the world using its public trust and a lot of public money that the moon was created by a giant collision between Earth and a Mars-sized object which gave birth to the moon 4.5 billion years ago. Now a newly released study from the University of Chicago says nope!... not so much.

In the giant-collision scenario, computer simulations suggest that the moon had two parents: Earth and a hypothetical planetary body that scientists call "Theia." But a comparative analysis of titanium from the moon, Earth and meteorites, published by Junjun Zhang, graduate student in geophysical sciences at the University of Chicago, and four co-authors indicates the moon's material came from Earth alone.
Hmmm... let's see... only this week did we finally discover that they (the scientists using our money and public trust) were teaching falsehoods about a floating rock only a quarter-million miles from earth and we are supposed to trust what they say about objects which may or may not exist tens and hundreds of light years away? Why, it was only recently that a planet in a supposed "habitable zone" was later discovered to not exist at all.

Here's an idea to chew on. If the Obama regime is really serious about balancing the budget why not start by auditing the "scientific" groups being funded by tax dollars. We can start by weeding out the dead wood by using lie-detectors. By getting rid of the liars who only exist to acquire the next government welfare grant (science lives and dies by them) perhaps the Obama regime can finally get a budget passed.
