Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who
said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own
reason and your own commonsense.

INTRODUCTION
This section of our website deals with
controversial science theories regarding the universe,
our planet
and the life itself. The list of articles is on the LEFT menu. |
|
In questions of science the authority of a thousand is
not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. I do
not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us
with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their
use.

There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry.
There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and
must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek
for any evidence, to correct any errors.

The human mind is not capable of grasping the
Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The
walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different
tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books.
It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in
which they are written.
But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books
- a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly
suspects.

Suppression, Censorship and Dogmatism in Science
Textbooks present science as a noble search for
truth, in which progress depends on questioning established ideas.
But for many scientists, this is a cruel myth. They know from bitter
experience that disagreeing with the dominant view is dangerous -
especially when that view is backed by powerful interest groups.
Call it suppression of intellectual dissent. The usual pattern is
that someone does research or speaks out in a way that threatens a
powerful interest group, typically a government, industry or
professional body. As a result, representatives of that group attack
the critic's ideas or the critic personally-by censoring writing,
blocking publications, denying appointments or promotions,
withdrawing research grants, taking legal actions, harassing,
blacklisting, spreading rumors.
