To me, this is very disappointing. The purpose of schooling is to give you lots of infomation. No one ever said you should believe it, just remember it until after the test. You gain all this information, then your suppose to learn to think. Your suppose to think about that infomation you learned. Your suppose to question it. Thats science.

The key of your science background is to question. They, the teachers, are suppose to teach you to question what you learned. If you find fault or weakness in what you learned, your taught to prove it, one way or the other. This is base for scientific writing. Its not suppose to be religion or law. Its to be questioned over and over. The scientific comunity thrives on doing and redoing. That is scientific progress. Not to believe it, thats religion, but to test it over and over, thats science.

Your learning is suppose to teach you, in order to change some of this stuff you read, you are suppose to create tests that show the stuff is in error, then show repeated results. That again is base of what your suppose to be learning.

You are not suppose to believe a person or a group of persons. Your suppost to question all alike. YOUR SUPPOSE TO HAVE FAITH IN RESULTS. Not believe or have faith in people(authors).

That you believe a paper(because of who wrote it) over generations upon generations of repeatable results is astounding. You just got a F.

If you see repeated results that indicate something contrary to what you read, then your suppose to investigate. To be clear, investigate in a unbiased way. To test.

That I told you of our results, should inspire you to investigate. Not say, but so and so said, and hes a baddddd dudddde. If not, you've failed again. Cheers

P.S. please send this to Dr. G and your biologist friends and see what they think. I bet you will be getting the wrong end of the stick. You see, I do have faith in biology, I just think you do not have a handle on it yet.
