The title says it all: Rejecting Modern Science (http://www.modernalternativemama.com/blog/2009/11/4/rejecting-modern-science.html#.VCX8hhajNYq)
QuoteRejecting modern science might sound crazy. Science has done so much for us, hasn't it? Yes and no. I find that a lot of modern scientists have blinders on, and cling just as strongly to beliefs that don't make any sense as they say we — religious people — do. The more research I've done, the more flawed I've come to think modern science really is. Now, just in case you still think I'm crazy, I'll explain why I do not believe in modern science.
Why I Do Not Believe In Modern Science
First — I'll tell you what I do believe in. I believe that trauma medicine is great. If we had a car accident and had horrible injuries, I'd be in the hospital getting stitched up. I think our trauma doctors do an awesome job of saving people who otherwise surely would have died, and experienced great pain. I also believe in the scientific method in general — that we can look at an issue openly and examine the evidence to come to a true conclusion.
However, I think doctors have overstepped their bounds (especially in obstetrics, an issue I'll be discussing more in a few weeks). They have dogmatic beliefs in drugs, vaccines, and interventions. They have overly simplistic explanations for the way the human body works, and they don't look for reasons WHY or for underlying causes. They only observe and assume. I also think that the scientific method is rarely used anymore. Researchers start out with a question, and they know what answer they would like or what they expect to see. Research is conducted in such a way as to provide the expected answer most of the time. This is then called peer-reviewed research and is published in medical journals, and is the foundation for "evidence-based medicine," which I entirely reject. Using these two phrases, "peer-reviewed medical journals" and "evidence-based medicine," dogmatic scientists try to make people like me look like we are stark raving lunatics with no knowledge or brain function whatsoever. It's rude, and it's wrong.
