I, as he...am "scared" about the denial of science in America.

I, too hope that we "get back to a place where we can really understand that science is tested knowledge:...

And I'm sad to read so many doubters here.

I think it's a real issue.

Do you know of anyone who says science is not real? I don't. Some may argue with a conclusion (even scientists do that between and among themselves), and even accepted science is sometimes questioned; so "tested" science is even questioned.

Harrison Ford's meme is somewhat simplistic. We should not rely on entertainment people to proclaim fact or political correctness.

Science is far from monolithic. It is imperfect, just as we are imperfect. Science is both a body of knowledge as well as a process. Science is rooted in facts, which is to say, reality. Religion, on the other hand, is rooted in the opposite of such.

That's how science is supposed to work.

Government-funded science does not always work that way.
