How All Science Deniers Are Similar

I have been posting against a wide spectrum of anti-science thought.  Included in such thinking are the areas of religion, alternative medicine, parapsychology, right-wing politics, anti-vaccination, anti-GMO and various other pseudosciences.  What is one common trait in all of those who hold such positions?

All of those who hold beliefs in areas mentioned above only deny the science that directly contradicts their area of belief.  Otherwise, they go about their business and daily activities utilizing scientific methods to negotiate through life and to determine reality, accepting the results of scientific observation and experimentation.  This is classical "cherry-picking", accepting only what does not interfere with a belief.  We all have a strong tendency to do this.  It is the skeptic who can think objectively and look outside of his/her own box of beliefs to accept ALL of what science has to say about ANY subject, changing opinions if they are warranted.

If anything I have said above applies to you, please don't be defensive, be willing to accept the reality presented by the best tool humanity has to determine such  ----   SCIENCE!!

Choose how you look at reality wisely. Yes, it is a binary choice.
