Well, of course it is, because scientists think
their truth is superior. But that can't possibly be the case. Spanish dictator Francisco Franco dissolved the nation's
scientific research board and rejected theories like evolution that he and his party saw as incompatible
with their Christian beliefs. Hitler and the Third Reich
strictly controlled which areas of science could be pursued, at one point rejecting relativity
and quantum mechanics in favor of fields like Aryan physics. President Yahya Jammeh of Gambia reportedly forced
thousands of people with HIV to refuse traditional treatments
in favor of his own personal remedy that he claimed could eradicate the virus
within three days. Needless to say, it did not. Stalin's view of scientific disciplines was in many ways dictated
by his ideological dogma
