When the Trump administration temporarily cuts certain science funding, some studies can’t just start up again. They require specialized people, equipment, and biological specimens, and those can’t just wait for funding to return. Our knowledge about the world, and the medical benefits some of this knowledge would have led to, have been hurt by these shortsighted actions.

Being a heretic is hard. It’s easy to be irreverent and to go against currently favored theories, but it’s hard to do it well. You don’t get serious points by saying Einstein is wrong and then making some crappy argument against him, even if the argument is rhetorically strong. You get serious points for doing the theoretical and empirical homework that actually shows Einstein is wrong.
Time and energy in our finite lives are limited. If you want someone to take the time to read and understand your radical theory, you’ve got to do the homework to understand the currently favored theories and why they are favored. If you haven’t done the hard homework, then your theory is probably wrong.

Human-caused climate change has been studied for many decades, and the common sense alternative explanations have already been studied and don’t explain the warming.

“Meat is indeed packed with protein, but it comes with some well-established health drawbacks.
“Saturated fat we’ve known about for decades,” said Dr. Sarah C. Hull, a cardiologist at Yale Medicine. It’s common in red meat and contributes to increasing LDL cholesterol levels, hardening the blood vessels and, in turn, raising the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Moreover, “all mammalian meat tends to be very inflammatory,” said Hull, who studies the diet-related risks of heart disease and cancer. “More recently we’ve come to understand that the many pro-inflammatory compounds found in red meat” can have other downsides, she said, including “deleterious interactions with the gut microbiome.” Studies have also linked the risks of certain cancers and Type 2 diabetes to heme iron, a form of the mineral that’s found only in animal tissue and is more easily absorbed than the iron in plants.”

Indo-European genes and language stretch from Western Europe to Sri Lanka. They were an early horse-people, that used their nomadic technologies like horse-riding, wagons, and chariots to dominate far in different directions. Genetically, their male lines spread far by dominate men having children with many women.

The goal of today’s moon mission is to send astronauts around the moon and have them return alive. It’s a test of life support systems. The long-term plan is to build a moon base where we can mine moon materials, advance science, and test things for Mars missions.

Limiting climate change is about facing some pain now to prevent greater pains later.
One reason people are so against limiting climate change is because some proponents of limiting climate change underplayed the serious costliness of dealing with climate change, so people felt like they were being lied to.

Early on when Covid was spreading in Asia, it was clear that hospitals that wore masks had lower spread of Covid than those that did not.
Although older people were much more likely to die from Covid, lots of middle-aged people died too.
Operation Warp Speed saved millions of lives.
USAID saved millions of lives a year. Donald Trump and Elon Musk destroyed it.

When you see a rainbow you are seeing light split through water. No one sees the same rainbow as you because they are seeing a different split of light split through different water. You can’t see a rainbow from the side because it only splits toward you. You can’t get to the bottom of the rainbow, because you are always seeing it straight on. That’s why it is a good place to hide the gold.
If you want to believe God explains the things science can’t, that is your right to believe what you want. But you shouldn’t be designing a school’s science curriculum, because that idea undermines what science is. That is an ideology of ignorance, while science is a process of discovery.
