Do you usually let other people decide your opinions for you? I'm guessing that's what just happened, seeing as how you didn't provide any reasons for agreeing with the OP, or really anything besides, "Yeah, you go man!" Oh, and I don't know if you are aware, but the standard for posting on ATS forums is that you need to CONTRIBUTE, not just scratch someone's back.
Please keep that in mind.edit on 13-8-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
When are you going to take these sorts of replies to task?
useless comments
“Do Scientists Cheat?”
“After the initial inquiry by this [congressional] committee into this subject, the committee has had growing reason to believe that we are only seeing the tip of a very unfortunate, dangerous, and important iceberg.”—NOVA broadcast on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) on October 25, 1988.
“Two New Studies Ask Why Scientists Cheat”
“It was an innocent enough question: how do scientists behave when no one is looking? But it has produced an incendiary answer: not too well, reports a paper this month in the British journal Nature.”—Newsweek, February 2, 1987.
“A Nation of Liars? Scientists Falsify Research”
“A study published last month accused 47 scientists at the Harvard and Emory University medical schools of producing misleading papers.”—U.S.News & World Report, February 23, 1987.
“NIH Sees Plagiarism in Vision Paper”
“Panel says researcher took data from paper he peer-reviewed and used it for his own work; . . . NIH [National Institutes of Health] recommends debarment proceedings.”—Science, July 14, 1989.
“The Case of the ‘Misplaced’ Fossils”
“A prominent Australian scientist has examined two decades of work on ancient Himalayan geology and alleges it may be the greatest paleontological fraud of all time.”—Science, April 21, 1989.
(NaturalNews) Researchers say it's still rare, but fraud in scientific research is climbing at an alarming rate nonetheless. What's more, according to a new study which has documented the trend, researchers can't say why it's happening. An examination of retractions in medical and biological peer-reviewed publications and journals found the percentage of studies withdrawn due to fraud or suspected fraud has increased dramatically since the mid-1970s, The Associated Press reported recently, citing data from the study. In 1976, there were fewer than 10 fraud retractions for every one million studies published; by 2007, fraud retractions had grown to 96 per one million, the study found.

The authors said fraud in life sciences research is very infrequent, being committed by just a few dozen cheats. But that can cause big problems nonetheless, said Arturo Casadevall, a professor of microbiology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York.
... when they do it, they are doing it in areas that are very important," Casadevall said. "And when these things come out, society loses faith in science." ...

First of all, chill the hell out. You don't need to be so offensive and aggressive with me when I'm just trying to get a straight answer out of you. My question is simple: you say we're being lied to, so what's the truth? If you don't believe in evolution, what's your alternative theory?
Your technique of revealing a deception without offering a truth is very poorly thought out.

Watch out the OP will cry that he/she is being bullied again
Oh and also topics do "evolve" you were told this last time by the mods.
I too would like to know but I think I already do...God did it.
We have seen evolution in action in as little as 30 years, we have transitional fossils which show when fish first started going on land. The Tiktaalik, has both lungs and gills.
All the OP has done is show some fraudsters and lumped every scientist with them.
Face it you just don't like the fact that our evolutionary cousins are Great Apes,New world monkeys, old world monkeys,gibbons etc etc.edit on 13-8-2013 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)
Here is the problem with your question. If I answer it then I have gone off topic and I believe that is your goal.
We will have page after page debating my views of life on earth. So, I am asking you to stick to the topic. Start your own thread on your topic and I might share my thoughts, but NOT on this thread.
I am very tired of religion and Christianity being used as the counter-argument to the proofs I offered in this thread. If you cannot deal with the topic then you can always stop replying and then I will stop asking to to stay on topic. Fair?
