NP, don't you know by now to NOT try and guess my thoughts? You've tried to guess how many times now? And you've been wrong how many times?

Exactly.

Certainly they can be biased when they begin their research, if they are trying to find something very specific. But the results of their research are not biased. The truth does not lean to one side or the other; it is simply there, waiting to be discovered by any who seek it, regardless of if it is what they were looking for.

Make no mistake about it they can make the results fit their own personal bias be they from the right or from the left........

Or anywhere else in that thread, for that matter. You obviously have me confused with someone else.

Really? How? Science doesn't lie, NP.

Of course, if you can provide some sort of source to back up this claim, I'd be more than happy to check it out.

Uh.....where do you get that I don't have much use for a dictionary? See my last post. I also happen to love encyclopedias. Used to read them for fun.

You're right, though, the Bible doesn't have a place in my life currently, as I am agnostic. Used to go to church and all that, but it's just not for me right now. Besides, I've always been a firm believer that religion has its place in the home and at church, and very few other places outside of that. Certainly doesn't belong in the legal realm.

Stace - I confused you with Steen (trying to do too many things at once - following several threads and studying for the FSO exam). Please accept my apologies.

These are just a few easily found falsifications. Scewing results to fit a need or to help in getting a grant, or to simply stay on the PC side of an issue is a common occurance, but also one that most don't want blatantly public, as it shows the scientists are as morally corrupt as the man cheating on his taxes.

He's confusing you for Steen. You have similar usernames and you both have five donkeys under your names; it's an easy mistake to make.

'Tis ok. It happens. Just remember that I have that hot stock car as my avatar and you'll be alright. :mrgreen:

Can you get any better? Good looking, free spirit, intellectual, and now agnostic? Sweet

Nice try, but they falsified reports, not the actual findings and data.

Besides, no offense, but I was asking NP specifically for a reason.

Falsifications that come out immediately with no spinning of the facts. That's how science works, some one can always review your work and find it to be indeed true, or out right lieing. As for the corrupt man, not so. Science, be it the next day, next month, or centuries later, the facts always come out and there's no dogding it.

Hey, I loved going to NASCAR races both when I lived in NH and GA. I am a LONG-TIME Bill Elliott fan.

Bill is definitely the man, but the car in my avatar is actually that of Kasey Kahne, who took over the 9 car....but hey, if you're a NASCAR fan, you'd know that already. :mrgreen:
 
No, the first is the Korean doctor that falsified data and lied to claim he had cloned human stem cells.

He falsified a report claiming that he had done this. I don't see anything there saying that he even attempted to actually clone the embryos. Again, you can falsify reports all you want, but if you actually did the research, you can't falsify the actual findings...someone's going to catch on eventually that your report was false.

I knew that Bill was no longer in the number nine, but sadly, it is really hard to get NASCAR news in Taiwan. It certainly isn't on TV here. When we buy a place next year, we are definately getting a satellite dish so I can watch all the soccer and NASCAR I want.

It is sad that you are so ignorant of the Scientific Method that you don't know about the checks and balances in scientific discovery.

And in each case, the Scientific Method explores the results and sorted out the errors. Science is very good at that. So what was your criticism of science again? That it keeps researchers honest by verifying everything?

:( Well, I started a NASCAR thread down in the sports forum, so if you want to stay current on what's going on, we'd all be more than happy to keep you updated. :smile:
