Current science; overenthusiastic interpretations (Introduction)

DAVID:: Always read scientific news with a critical eye, as this article shows. I have continuously presented origin of life lab results and pointed out the hype. Currently governments provide grant funds to push research. The result, due to the fact that many university labs must live on grants, the lust for money drives grant requests beyond what should rationally proposed.

dhw: All this is now common knowledge. But at the same time, one should always be careful not to assume that any research which counters one's own fixed beliefs is the product of grant-hunting.

I know the difference. Again , note all the junk research I've shown about origin of life.
