^^^ I agree, and the reality is there is no real consensus on the issue..All scientist's get their research money from somewhere, so its more than just oil companies paying scientist off to get their word out...
Also you have to have an understanding of how the scientific community works and a good example is the origins of native north americans - and the popular consensus is that they orginated from Asia 10,000 years ago - when evidence suggests otherwise - and any scientist who doesnt agree with the popular theory (clovis theory) is quickly discredited - even in the face of overwhelming genetic evidence
For years archaeologists have have been told there is no need to dig past the clovis line (i.e. digging past depths that represent up to 10,000 years) - because you wont find any artificats, because the majority of scientists agree on the clovis thoery
well some scientist did and they continued to find artificats older than 10,000 years -these scientists where shunned, attacked, shamed etc...by other archaeologists who held true to the clovis theory
well turns out the clovis theory is bogus....yet still remains a common belief for some reason...
this has been happening for hundreds of years...just like when some philosphers came out with that crazy insane idea that the earth was round...
