"Christianity was the answer to a riddle, not the last truism uttered after a long talk"
G K Chesterton , who wrote some great detective riddles ,talks about why he became a Christian.

Stupid science

Many of our universities in Australia are becoming irrelevant .  They neither believe or trust in cutting edge science. They describe things but don't know things - that is well enough to describe them succinctly and functionally  .They often just pretend to practice it ----from sociology through psychology to biology and beyond .
The people who run and teach in some of these reactionary learning places clearly tell us they  think they do  and think things scientifically.  In reality they often CUT short the logic required to do science well . I could go on - but it's D day for our dumb polys who don't ever call for  weeding out of these unfit , unqualified and parasitic  self determining half baked's who survive in these drip feed environments.---playing with science but not practicing it properly.

None us should be put off by the shallow talk of proof . It's often a dumb and ineffective timewaster leftover from our Greek heritage .
Proof arguments , as used now are most often an incomplete series of equations run directly by the proponent of their own idea - how objective is that?
"The world is chock full of people who find all the arguments they need to fact check their own conclusions . This is science done stupidly.
Stupid science is where correlation becomes the basis for complete causation . That is , yes to have correlation means you have a connection but its not the whole thing, or the direct thing !

It means  in practice,  you jump in and don't fix the real determinants . You try to insulate people from their own stupidity with  someone else's money ; You experiment all the time like the leaders  do on UTOPIA ABC . Endless experimentation at our expense and then ....none the wiser    

As any decent practical scientist knows - we, as a competent group are long winded . Too long winded and argumentative to ever ( one recently ) to have a consensus session on ABC TV  Q and A , The program producers are dumb enough to think "fact checking" will get us to heaven ( when it only gives us a headache )
Those who lead just don't get it  They are playing with permutations and combinations of facts they haven't  a hope of placing in a replicated experiment. They wouldn't even need know which established equations to use to keep the matter under control . Ignorant they give in too easily to fear .   We are not shallow and subject to the same fears therefore they do NOT represent us properly .

The ABC science departments and programs  are not even run by scientists and this has been going on for decades. It is supposed to be our ABC . What a disgrace to even think we can call ourselves the clever country .

 If you are a poly, get busy or get out !-- for our children's sake ---look at all the wasted degrees YOU have helped create over the last decades.   Kick em out and give our children the full careers ( not jobs)  they deserve because they studied to show themselves capable.
