But the same scientific principles used to find better medicines, better rocket propulsion, better communications, faster computers, deeper understanding of stars and the sun, all those mentioned use the same fundamental scientific principles like Karl Popper's rule about falsifiability and such.
You don't make a big stink about new medicines coming out or the temperature of the bottom of the ocean or predictions of weather patterns or learning about volcano's, all of those fields use exactly the same fundamental rules of modern scientific research.
It is ONLY when science rubs up against religious dogma, like your ridiculous supposition the Earth is only 6000 years old, in spite of very solid arguments by even me about that, THEN you don't care a whit about falsifiability or other fundamental tenants of scientific research.
3D printers making progress with the medical community leading to artificially produced kidneys or livers and such doesn't bother you in the slightest and you may find solace in such developments but if they infringe on evolution or the age of the Earth, all of a sudden that whole science is a fraud, regardless of where the discoveries lead, if it leads to a cure for cancer, throw out that cure, it came from the devil.
Can't you see your wacko logic working here?
