science and the brain in your pants
As the population keeps the faith in science? In general, one would think the scientists, the professors and doctors are trusted people in the know. This applies only as long as it addresses issues that have no fear of potential. We marveled at the colorful pictures of astrophysicists, particle physicists at CERN admired, is impressed by the advances in medical equipment. But alas it comes to diffuse fears, about things that you can not see, hear, smell, taste or even understand can (or willing). To things like nuclear power and radioactivity, electromagnetic pollution, pesticides or genetically modified foods. Then closes with the trust. Since then arguments could care less. No matter how many professors and doctors say that you could not see any danger, the majority are not accepted. It's enough to be afraid and you want only one thing: now get away with stuff.
This is a human train, succumb to scientists. A scientist from England told me the following story: His entire research career he has investigated the influence of electromagnetic radiation on biological life forms and found no harmful influence. When he jokingly the electromagnetic fields in the homes of his children surveyed, he found that the fields were particularly high at the head of the crib of his granddaughter. Then he arranged that the bed was changed.
The man is: we keep all of us to be reasonable, but if we get scared, then we slip next to the heart and the brain in your pants. And who is active in the pants? Well, as the Catholic Church, although it is sometimes more than she. In matters of emotional states like fear, sadness, despair can win the science a potted plant. This is the profession of chaplains from religious, esoteric or psychology. Once fear comes into play, our brain goes into neutral and can easily be towed by each, the main thing in the right direction: away from the one before whom we are afraid of and back into the Mi-Ma-tale land of the supposed 100% security.
