Beware of science and politics, at once

While we are on such topics, it is coming to light for a number of years now that science and "scientific fact" are in crisis. Just google it. There is a new paradigm at work based simply on at least three premises. 
First, scientists are realizing they know less and less and "facts" have and will continue to change. 
Second, theories such as evolution, Big Bang, and molecular are theories and by definition unproven. 
And lastly, all research requires funding from parties that have an interest in the outcome. 

All this can be argued, but that is the point too, so at minimum even being partly true establishes that the "scientific method" is less than objective. Humans are less than objective, theories are unproven, and scientific research is paid for by interests. 

"Beware of both science and politics at once because it is you that may be a specimen in the control group"
