Thank goodness for roosters

Imagine a several ton rooster sitting outside your window in the morning. Scary thought, isn’t it, or you could open your own fried chicken restaurant. But our ever illustrious scientific community wants you to believe that chickens and T-Rex are related, matter of fact they want you to think that chickens descended from dinosaurs. Amazingly, this latest claim is due to the now accepted reality that soft tissue has been found in supposedly the most improbable of places, a T-Rex fossil.

“How can that be?,” you might ask. “I thought Dinosaur fossils were so old that soft tissue had to be completely decomposed?” Very good questions, but you see our understanding is far to simplistic for the likes of these great men of science. For instead of going with what we know and have observed to be true and instead of altering their thinking on something far more dubious and requiring far more assumptions, like dating methods, they prefer to take the known physical world and turn it upside down by suggesting that the tissue is actually 68 million years old rather than the fossil perhaps being younger. Well, shouldn’t we look at both possibilities? Well, that might actually make some semblance of sense and heaven knows that common sense and science just don’t mix these days. Matter of fact, to be in science today and be accepted you to have to distance yourself as far from common sense as possible because who wants to be a scientific genius and be common. I mean, really, how could you suggest such a thing!

Didn’t you know that scientists are far more perfect than the rest of us and they just don’t make those kinds of mistakes. They don’t put out false research, smudge data, or deny their mistakes when they harm others. They don’t use ridiculously small sample sizes or unrepeated and unverified lab experiments to make claims. Well, maybe that only happens in their idealistic fantasy world created by their false delusions of grandeur and godhood, but in the real world, the one where we have to feel the effects of their sloppy work and greed, it is quite different. Truthfully, how often do we see the scientific community own up to their mistakes, unless they are forced to? How long would we have to continue to be subjected to things that are wrong or harmful if we did not call them on it and raise our voices in opposition to being their human guinea pigs? How often do they make broad sweeping claims and assume that if it is good for one person, then it should be equally good for us all, no exceptions?

Need I remind you how ardently they refused the notion that vaccines could harm anyone, yet they now are forced to consider that possibility. And what about the advent of pesticides, which seemed to be a panacea to our agricultural woes, only to create other problems. How about all the drugs that get put on the market and then pulled from the shelf but a year later because they harmed people. Oh, and let’s not forget the whole BPA in bottles debate still going on where they can’t decided whether it is harmful or not. And does anyone remember when it was all the rage to remove things like tonsils because science was sure they served no function:

‘… tonsillectomy is the most frequently performed piece of surgery. Doctors once thought tonsils were simply useless evolutionary leftovers and took them out thinking that it could do no harm. Today there is considerable evidence that there are more troubles in the upper respiratory tract after tonsil removal than before, and doctors generally agree that simple enlargement of tonsils is hardly an indication for surgery.’

Ratcliff, J.D., Your Body and How it Works, Delacorte, New York, p. 137, 1975.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg. But the science community wants us to trust them. They want us to unswervingly believe every line they feed us as being the absolute truth. And they will swear it is the truth until the harm is already done.

“Surely,” you say, “They don’t actually think we are stupid.” Well, actually, yes, they do. They have been given such power over our lives that they feel we have no right to question what they do. They can do what they want with little recourse. Many of them are arrogant and conceited. They feel they are so intellectually superior that we should be indebted to them and not ask questions. And some of you quite happily feed their egos and give them more power.

I say, enough is enough! It is time for them to be more open with the public and make their research freely available to all. No more cloak and daggers, no more smoke and mirrors. We want the truth, we want accountability, and we want respect. We will no longer go willingly like sheep to the slaughter. We will cast out the wolves among us. This is one chemist who is calling you out. Put up or shut up because right now slime under a rock is worth far more respect than the science community.
