Zombie Science
“The history of science shows that the [scientific] consensus is often wrong… According to biophysicist Cornelius Hunter, Darwin’s theory was more theology than science. ‘Ultimately, evolution is not about the scientific details. Ultimately, evolution is about God’… The lack of evidence for [Darwinian] macroevolution became obvious at a November 2016 meeting of evolutionary biologists at the prestigious Royal Society of London. Austrian biologist Gerd Müller (who helped organize the meeting) spoke first, pointing out that current evolutionary theory fails to explain (among other things) the origin of new anatomical structures in living creatures (that is, macroevolution). Müller and most of the other speakers advocated an ‘extended evolutionary synthesis’ (EES) to correct the problem… By the end of the meeting, however, it was clear that advocates of the EES had failed to meet the challenge posed by Müller on the first day: they could not explain macroevolution.”

National Science Teaching Association Censors Open Inquiry, Stonewalls When Questioned
… &
“[T]he National Science Teaching Association is undermining excellence in education on two fronts. First, it has diluted its mission by adding political-correctness advocacy to its docket. Among its 38 position statements are missives on ‘Gender Equity in Science Education,’ ‘Multicultural Science Education,’ and ‘Poverty,’ as if those have anything to do with the empirical sciences, and its longwinded statement on ‘Climate Science‘ doubles down on the ‘overwhelming scientific consensus‘ while psychologizing alternative positions as ‘cognitive biases’ related to ‘one’s faith, family, and personal emotional experiences‘. Second, regarding evolution, [the NSTA] has contorted the very meaning of critical thinking into its exact opposite. Efforts to ‘teach the controversy‘ or present ‘strengths and weaknesses of evolution‘ amount to ‘twisting and abusing core pedagogical principles‘ and ‘open[ing] science classroom doors to non-science‘… [Yet] In subsequent editions of The Origin of Species, Darwin himself responded carefully to his critics and added, ‘I look with confidence to the future, to young and rising naturalists, who will be able to view both sides of the question with impartiality‘… So now [to the NSTA]… gender equity and multiculturalism are ‘science,’ but weighing the strengths and weaknesses of evolutionary theory is ‘non-science‘ [and] Darwin’s theory is ‘science,’ but Darwin’s engagement with criticism is ‘non-science.’ And with presumably straight faces, [the NSTA] call this ‘excellence and innovation.’ This double-minded activism is an Orwellian innovation that science would be better off without.”

“… modern science encourages conformity… For a start, you need to… take on a kind of disciplinary worldview… part of what the philosopher and historian Thomas Kuhn called a ‘paradigm’… In such an environment, researchers are bound to be conservative [regarding their] career… This makes science more productive, but less creative. Enquiries can become hidebound and unadventurous. As a result, truly revolutionary research — the domain of the maverick — is increasingly hard to pursue.”

In 2016, Szostak’s lab published a paper in Nature Chemistry, in which they said they had found a way to get RNA to self-replicate. That paper has now been retracted. The reason?
“In retrospect, we were totally blinded by our belief [in our evolutionary paradigm].”

“… people are always more loyal to their tribal group than to any abstract notion of ‘truth’ — scientists especially. If not they are unemployable. It is professional suicide to continually contradict one’s teachers…”

[Speaking of evoulutionism and ‘truth‘…]
Evolutionary biologist and University of California Professor Donald Hoffman:
“Evolution ruthlessly selects against truth strategies. [As a result…] An organism that sees objective reality is always less fit than an organism of equal complexity that sees fitness pay-offs. Seeing objective reality will make you extinct.”
&
Eric Baum, PhDs(2)(Physics, Computer Science):
“Sometimes you are more likely to survive and propagate if you believe a falsehood than if you believe the truth.”
&
Steven Pinker, PhD (Psychology):
“Our brains were shaped for fitness, not for truth. Sometimes the truth is adaptive, but sometimes it is not.”
Conclusion: Survival is no guarantee of truth. If survival is the only standard by which truth can be known, we can never know which ideas are true and which are adaptive but false. But if this conclusion is true, how, then, can anyone know that evolution itself is true?
