OBVIOUSLY by “science’s truths”, I meant the truths about the real world that science aspires to find, NOT scientists’ beliefs during any particular historical era – phlogiston, etc. My point was only that there’s such a thing as objective reality – denied by postmodern pseuds.

I can't tell if this is a good criticism of religious people of a bad criticism of left-wing people.

That in and of itself should tell you something is very wrong with your view

I think the key question is the "truths" part.. Too often science becomes a political weapon, and conflicting information confuses people and erodes beliefs in science...

Science requires no belief. There are fluctuations in the quality of the labor performed by scientists and some are even downright fraudulent. No human property is foreign to those in the sciences, sadly. But that doesn't invalidate science as a whole in any way.

science is not the universe. science is one study of it. and it is influenced by the people doing the science. science is not all there is, there was, and will be. science is not god.

You observe/ strongly suspect something. Then you devise a method to test it,you then try to disprove it and invite people to test it(preferably those who want to disprove you). If it withstands all that, then you have yourself a scientific theory. How else do you get to truth?

You do realize their were no dinosaur scientists so would be impossible to have science then. Learn

Would you deny that dinosaurs had an integrated trial and error type construct that helped propel them to an evolutionary advantage? Is that not what we humans do as scientists? Therefore, to me, dinosaur scientists existed.
