Are scientists trustworthy? Are they free from human frailties such as prejudice? Opinionated? Obstinacy? Jealousy?
All humans are prone to these and other errors.
Are all earth dwelling scientists human.
Logic dictates if all humans err, and all recognized scientists are human, ergo, all scientists err.
Take the poll please.
Checking a box beside a question, indicates affirmative you believe the answer is "True" to the question.
And for your consideration, the following link and quote!
"The knowledge filter and scientific suppression
One of the prominent themes introduced in Forbidden Archeology is the phenomena of "knowledge filtration." This is the process by which scientists and others routinely accept evidence that supports their preconceptions and theories while rejecting, either consciously or unconsciously, other evidence that does not uphold their views. This process of suppression of evidence is illustrated by many of the anomalous paleoanthropological findings discussed in the book. This evidence now tends to be extremely obscure, and it also tends to be clouded by a series of negative reports, themselves obscure and dating from the time when the evidence was being actively rejected. Thus, evolutionary prejudices held by powerful groups of scientists act as a "knowledge filter" which has eliminated evidence challenging accepted views and left us with a radically altered understanding of human origins and antiquity."
