Science Is Not About What Individual Scientists Say

Those who support religion, alternative medicine and other pseudoscience usually cite individual scientists in support of their position.  They fail to understand what science really is, it is not individual opinion.

Scientific thinking is about understanding, and accepting, what the majority of scientists working in the fields of study involved with the issue at hand (and historians who use scientific methods) conclude provisionally regarding what is probably true.

If one looks at the history of science, one finds it has progressed both our understanding of reality and the quality of human existence through showing that intuition and logic were erroneous. Philosophy, theology and personal experiences are based on intuition and logic, and lack science's ability to falsify claims.  Knowledge is justified true belief.  Only science has the methods to justify claims.
