permaculture

["John D'hondt" <dhondt@eircom.net>]

IMO the definition of science does not have to change just because many 
"scientists" these days are worse than prostitutes in that they sell their 
soul instead of just their bodies for money.
Years ago with the findings of the human genome project the "central dogma" 
of genetics was proven to be completely false. The scientists had expected 
to find about 150,000 different genes in the human genome and they found 
only some 25,000.
With that everything the gmo industry had claimed, such as "substantial 
equivalence", became pure BS and any real scientist should be able to see 
this. The proof is there for all to see and denying it is the same as 
hanging on to a flat Earth theory, un-scientific.
A white lab coat does not turn a prostitute into a scientist.
