Is the age of scientific discovery ending?

The age of scientific discovery is not ending, the end of scientists who know how to do science may be. Many scientists seem to be religionists now, they tell us "The science is settled," they tell us, "Consensus is on our side," they say it's justifiable to keep whatever data they don't agree with out of the peer reviewed journals, they think it's OK to pervert the peer review process, they play with words interchanging meanings in the middle of conversations, they applaud the firing of scientists who disagree with the prevailing view. Those are the actions of a religious zealot, not a scient... [More]

And sciences is expanding at such a rapid pace. You have to make a point of keeping up or you will be left behind. The theory that we have tapped out science capacity is merely a reflection of people not keeping up with all the new science, so rapid is it's pace, that they think new science is no longer there. fully agree, but what you mean by "I admit to merely being on the edges of science, but i do see where it is going."?

fully agree, but what you mean by "I admit to merely being on the edges of science, but i do see where it is going."? I am not a scientist, but merely a fan of science. I married a scientist tho. And I read daily new research.

I am not a scientist, but merely a fan of science. I married a scientist tho. And I read daily new research. Ok..I see! Thanks for the clarification, at the moment I am just a wannabe Scientist myself

Ok..I see! Thanks for the clarification, at the moment I am just a wannabe Scientist myself i highly encourage you to stay the course. There will come a day when society is slave to science.

i highly encourage you to stay the course. There will come a day when society is slave to science. Well, arent we now already

That may be why there are people presently that WANT us to think Science is dead.

i highly encourage you to stay the course. There will come a day when society is slave to science. We're already slave's to technology, but not science. Science is just knowledge and understanding, the most harm it can do is when corrupt individuals use science(or lies that are disguised as science) to influence our government's officials.

I can tell you this much: No matter what will be discovered in the future it will not disprove evolution nor prove intelligent design. So you won't like it either. Well, if it meant anything in the eternal scheme of things it would be something to worry about, but...meh.What is sad is that we're happily corrupting a process that has allowed us to learn so much.

We're already slave's to technology, but not science.

It certainly appears our government officials are pretty darned ea$y to influence!! Too darned ea$y.
