We’ve lost sight of the most important rule in debating science (Synopsis) [Starts With A Bang]
“You must remember, my dear lady, the most important rule of any successful illusion: First, the people must want to believe in it.” -Libba Bray
There are many times throughout history that science — and scientists — have gotten it wrong. And there are many topics today that are quite polarized, from the Big Bang and evolution to vaccines, fluoridation, chemtrails and climate change. There are many public debates that play out, sometimes in nasty ways, surrounding all of these topics.

But if your goal is to arrive at a scientifically robust conclusion, and to make sense of the Universe based on that, read on.
