I do not understand what you are asking here.

There are conflicting views within mainstream science, with smart men competing to prove what is true and what is false. Who will get picked as living in reality and who will be picked as living in fantasy when mainstream science doesn't agree? How much concensus will you need to qualify as being 'main stream science'?

Also, reality is what it is. Science can clarify our understanding, but it does not change what is and is not real.

According to your gospel, we should follow the majority of scientists' interpretation of evidence, regardless of whether they are correct or not.

Or is it that we shouldn't question their authority? LOL

If I understand your question correctly, you are asking if we are to believe that Science is perfect knowledge?

No you should not believe that Science is perfect, as it is not.

I encourage you to prove Science wrong.

If you can do this then you have just created Scientific fact.

We will then believe you until you are proven to be in error.

Rember that the basis of Faith in Reality is, accepting the fact that we will not know all the answers to everyting.

Some things will never be known. Some things previously unknown will be discovered.

Not all facts are perfect. Perfection is not a reality it is only myth.

If ever Science doesn't agree with Reality, this I would like to see.

I think it's better to just teach people to think for themselves and instruct them to question everything. No religion required.

I disagree Clay. There needs to be a social structure for normal people who do not here voices in there head.

Why should the insane people have all the fun?

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

Im with you but you have to understand we are not all on the same page. We are not all homo sapiens per say. We have humans not so evolved and their consciousness is much different than others. We can only respect others perceptions for you can only know what you know. However Im with you in the sense that we should begin in looking into new interpratatoins of things since our interpratations have changed.. and in fact we are.
However, we can and never will be able to get everyone to conform to one way.. this has no purpose, it is not anyones right or purpose.. and we can only truthfully be excited about our own paths and try to make sure it follows a pretty simple rule of being benificial to one and all.

Live and die, live and die... dont bother to cry, we all live and die..
We ask why, we ask why... you only get the answers that your mind can apply
Whats it all for, whats it all for? If your playing your tune, your an intrusment of its own symphony.
