I think that scientific method is valid and, in a pragmatic way, it is generally trustworthy. But science has shown to disprove its previous conclusions SO often that it should be obvious that, though scientific method is valid, the conclusions drawn from it are as fluid as faith and belief.

That would be a good strategy IF scientists had an open mind, and strength of conviction to stand and report things out of the mainstream.

Scientists are so afraid of being ridiculed by their peers and loosing their finding they will NOT stand and report the truth.

I would suggest for you to buy od check out the book "Forbidden Archaeology" that book documents discoveries that have been burried, or hidden in storage.
