True or False: You believe anything scientists say just like...?

I think that some sources of information are more reliable than others. Don't you?

Falso - scientists are required to provide evidence of their findings - these need to be set out clearly with the results for anyone else to verify. Then thousands of other scientists do try to verify it or challenge it or adapt it or apply it differently and evidence for that is also provided and thoroughly peer reviewed. If a scientist tried to behave like a pastor and say 'I have faith that something about the world is true.' no journal would publish it and no-one would ever see it and whoever was funding him or her would sack them.

False. I work in health and fitness; a field where a lot is still up for debate. Through most of my work, it seems that what works for some does not work for others. You should base what you believe upon the pieces you already know.

You see conflicting diet advice in every other women's/men's magazine based on "new scientific research". Most of the info is BS.

Anyway, can't anyone conduct "research" and call themself a scientist?

False.

Oh look, some scientists are nutjobs. However, when there's a consensus amongst them on something I'd accept it but understand that could change at anytime due to refuting evidence.

False.

Skepticism is a wonderful thing.

If something is important to me, I research it, I gather my own information and I come to my own conclusions, which, typically, agree with science.

Scientists don't even "just believe" one another, they test, retest and try to disprove the results. Seeing as how different theories predict different results, this system usually flushes out any inherent biases.

False

I might be fascinated

I might be intrigued

I might be set to wondering

But I can still question

Did the big bang really happen

And how did it evolve from nothingness

And where did the nothingness come from

And is nothing something or is something nothing?

A religious person says - god said this or the bible says this - and when you question that they only say - god said it or quote another part of the bible.

A scientist says - this is the data I have - and when you question that he gathers the data and massive other data that supports it.

There is a big difference between the two.

Yes, because they deal in logic, if something is logical ill accept it until proven otherwise.

These books simply aren't logical as they don't cater for everyone and everything in an ever evolving world.

Well, while scientists are way more reliable than the buy-ble or priests, i do try to take it with a grain of salt because, you know, they might be in it for something other than the truth.

False, I hear what they have to say, I hear how they came to that conclusion, I see if anyone else can back up said claim through independent testing, then I make a decision.
