Lack of trust.

Since this site is a statement against the scientific community, are all branches of the sciences generally not trusted or are certain parts less trusted than others?  If one is sick, does one avoid doctors and/or hospitals or are the medical sciences on the list of sciences that are trustworthy?

I dont get sick.

I dont get sick.

I'm envious.  I get sick rather often lately.  If you were to get sick, would you trust a physician?

Yes, because its the lesser of 2 evils.

Are you a little afraid a doctor is going to hasten your death if you visit a hospital?

I sore throat or a broken arm isnt going to cause me a great deal of death.

So you'll go in for a broken arm but when the time comes that you need your apendix removed, what will you do?

Well if i dont have it removed i would die any way.

But surely you trust them that they aren't pulling a fast one on you, correct?

Untreated strep throat or an infected compound fracture might.

Hanging around in doctors' offices is an effective way to contract strep throat.

Which incidentally is also proof that the Earth is flat.

The tooth fairy agrees with us as well.  So our numbers continue to grow.

Stop comparing the highly esteemed members of this proud forum with creationist trolls. FE'ers have feelings, you know.

It wasn't going anywhere because you didn't let it. You are derailing your own thread.

Haha, this did make me chuckle. FOCUS, LAGNAF. In my opinion, people who tend to subscribe to conspiracies and unconventional theories are generally distrustful of any established authority or wisdom, which I suppose is stating the obvious but at least I'm on topic.

If you are making a reference to what you call "established wisdom" then you are on a slippery slope. That is what tries its best to keep RET in the forefront of understanding.

I suppose asking direct questions was my downfall.  My bad.

I don't understand the point you're making, can you elaborate?

Yes. When you wrote "established authority or wisdom" I didn't know if you were saying that having a distrust of established wisdom was the same as saying "distrust of RET?" My point would then be that since RET is so ingrained in the educational system, that there has to be room for the wisdom of FET to take hold.

Should school children be taught both theories?

Yes, FET should be part of the standard cirriculum.

Along with Creationism and Alchemy, right?

I do believe there is exposure to some extent with those, but FET should be expanded.
