Comments on: Is Creationism the Ultimate Conspiracy Theory? https://allpsych.com/is-creationism-the-ultimate-conspiracy-theory/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=is-creationism-the-ultimate-conspiracy-theory The Virtual Psychology Classroom Thu, 04 Nov 2021 02:59:06 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 By: Lauren Michelle Lynley https://allpsych.com/is-creationism-the-ultimate-conspiracy-theory/#comment-2678 Sat, 08 Sep 2018 22:47:21 +0000 https://allpsych.com/?p=1694#comment-2678 This is very poor quality writing and a badly-reasoned rant masquerading as a medical blog. I realise that there are many religious people who cannot reconcile God and evolution, but many others can and do. Also, conflating Flat-Earthers and those who believe in a First Cause/God is a fallacy despite what one small study in one country proffers.

How many times have so-called conspiracy theorists actually uncovered rigged research studies that push drugs, particularly psychiatric drugs, that are either useless, or worse, cause a worsening of patient symptoms or the creation of new ones? A huge percentage of mass shootings are perpitrated by those of a psychiatric drug or used to take them. How about all of the horrific human and animal experimentation done in the name of reason and science that turned out worthless and left many dead or maimed in some way; and in the case of animals billions of tortured, broken corpses sacrificed to the gods of science? Furthermore, science as a general field is consistently operating under false premises, this is how understanding of complex problems comes to light over years, decades, and centuries.

This is a nasty, snarky, anti-religion article with a pre-determined agenda. I was a reason-based follower of scientism for decades and still believe in logic and the scientific method though I have found room in my consciousness for the concept of God. But I also know that science has moved from acting as a tool to serve humanity to humanity serving as a tool to promote science.
