MODERATORS
Science is the best means by which we can understand the objective truth about the world around us. It's a shame that people are rejecting it in favour of conspiracy and superstition.
That’s just human psychology at work. Many of these BS explanations are appealing to a certain type of mind.
It's the same to people. All the interest in the latest cancer medicine, people like science. They are not anti-science, they cannot tell the difference.
