Science? Where?

Where have all the skeptics gone?
Used to be that any scientist worth his salt beamed with an ample amount of skepticism. A personality trait he would flout more often than his glass framed PhD. Sorrowfully, it seems those days are gone.
This lack is to be expected from we non-scientists. Hell, for most of us the only scientific information we get comes from, at worst, The Daily Show; or at best, the MSM's so called 'journalists'. You know these creatures...quick with a thesaurus but normally ignorant on the issues. And with a Liberal lack of skepticism thrown in just for fun.
But this post is not about the MSM's lack of hard questioning in regards to the Liberal scientific agenda.
It is about scientists, themselves, and their lack of pessimism on any issue they'd ideologically rather take merely on faith.
Issues such as Global Warming. Evolution. Embryonic Stem Cells.
You exhibit any doubt in these arenas at your own personal and professional risk.
It matters little that some believe global warming has more to do with sun spots than SUVs. Or that temperature variations are a natural cyclical part of Earth history. Or that we may in actuality be moving into an ice age. But bring up these points and get ready for the howling...'Global Warming is our fault and you'd just better get damn used to it!'
And just when did Evolution become a religion? Darwinism is untouchable in sacred scientific circles these days. A theory? No more, it is now a faith. Do not dare raise doubt at the altar of the Galapolos. Just ignore the fact that no new species has ever been shown or proven to spring from a existing one. Or that something as universal as the eye is nearly impossible to explain as popping up through natural selection or mutation. Instead, just follow blindly the dogma of the new secular religion.
Next look at the mess that is building in the Embryonic Stem Cell issue. If you dared challenge the morality of the procedure, or even opined that government has no role in the research, you were labeled a red neck Christian hillbilly zealot. Ignore the fact that ASC's have never produced a cure for a single disease. And forget that Adult Stem Cells actually have. As have Placental/Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cells. Yes, just ignore these things, they do not fit the agenda.
It is a sad state of affairs that Liberalism has so ingrained itself in intelligencia that even science is no longer immune. Unfortunately, lock step ideology has replaced skepticism and intellectual honesty has paid the ultimate price.
If we can no longer count on our scientists to question the truth, where on Earth are we to turn...I have an idea, but I must say, I'm skeptical.
