        That would make a large chunk of academia qualify as religion, not science.

        Everybody has their faves, but here's something I wrote about old-school biblical criticism years back:http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/04/01/my-take-it-doesnt-matter-who-wrote-the-bible/ …

        short answer from my end is any field that believes itself scientific but actlly far from hard science is incentivized 2 overstate certainty

        Yet the curtain of science hides innumerable atrocities in the name of partial knowledge, particularly the medical studies!

        Empirical knowledge requires experimentation. Unfortunately for medicine, that experimentation has too often been at the expense of patients

        And experiments immorally made without disclosure to test subjects, while the ones conducting trials had awareness of harmful consequences.

        I'm not suggesting that it was prosecuted correctly. But I would suggest that the errors of scientists are no indictment of science.

        The method of science is only as good as the people practicing it, while the idea is indeed noble. The 'idea' is tainted by many objectives.

        That's true for any human endeavor. I might suggest, given the foundations upon which it is built, science is less susceptible than others.

        Because at some point you have to make a gut decision based on incomplete information and this whole debate becomes a pointless joke

        Are you trying to equate making an educated guess with the fabrication of an entire belief system?
