In reply to the discussion: Neil DeGrasse Tyson Tells Bill Maher That Anti-Science Liberals Are Full of Shit Too [View all]A Simple Game
(9,214 posts)Why should I take his word over most of Europe, many other countries, and even China? When China bans a food there must be something to it. Are GMOs science? Yes, but are they good science?
Is atomic energy science? Was the development of atomic weapons good science? I certainly don't think so. Does that make me anti-science? Disagreement and questioning something is pro-science, not anti-science. Status quo is anti-science. I can remember when "question everything" was a good goal ideal to live to. To not question something, especially something as new as GMO science, that is being against science. Mr. Tyson should explain to the world why not questioning something is pro-science. Good science does not just blindly accept anything as the final answer and a true scientist would be ashamed of himself for saying so.
Before people start pounding on their keyboard I do know China is starting to get into the GMO business and I have no doubts that that they are getting into it for the money not the health benefits. Can't wait for Monsanto to try suing China for infringement.
You are right about Tyson, to put it bluntly, he is starting to just be about the money.
