Where is the scientific debate?
This is the argument from authority, by proxy, and just as lacking in credibility. Worked example - non-scientists doing the job better than scientists.

Or maybe you think it is heretical to question things ? Maybe you would like any debate banned ? I think you have a constitution which prevents that. This film is a response to a proposed law in Australia about restricting press freedom, the opening story is relevant here...


Science is not a consensus.
