Some People Have a Utopian View of Science!

Some People Have a Utopian View of Science! When we say that "judgments based on scientific evidence, whether in the laboratory or the courtroom, are categorically rejected, they are not even accepted as research, simply because they contradict the concept of some of the prevailing scientific consensus." He thinks that those who say these words are a group outside the scientific practice!! When we say that “almost every generally accepted opinion has ever been considered gay or heretical”... The convergent thinks he's in front of an outside attempt to challenge the merit of the entire scientific practice! When we say, “The progress of science is increased by the replacement of old opinions, and by the gradual replacement of cumulative scientific knowledge. The automatic rejection of contrary opinions that challenge traditional convictions is a dangerous fallacy.” They think we're talking! Imagine who would have asked themselves to write these quotations opposing the scientific consensus? Are they a bunch of ignorant idiots who have nothing to do with scientific practice? Let them know themselves better. "As scientists, physicists, historians of science, and sociologists, members of the scientific community, we affirm as friends of the Court that this is not the way scientists work in their pursuit of truth. We challenge the Ninth Circuit Court's assumption that a good scientific proposition is only what is generally accepted and published in international peer-reviewed journals, and reject the notion that scientific analysis and conclusions, which may differ from what the Court considers a published consensus, are not reliable in advance. Even if a determination in the existence and nature of unanimity was possible a task fraught with difficulties in itself the prevailing views and traditional convictions have always been buried in the dust of the history of science.” The passages are adapted from the amicus brief presented to the court by a group of scientists (including the famous evolutionary Stephen Gould) in the 1993 Dupert case.
