Many people quote "scientific" fact for evolution, global warming, abortion, etc... But if the general public is unable to verify these results themselves, then in affect, isn't using secondary source (not you) "scientific evidence" to back up something you say simply an appeal to authority or an appeal to tradition? If "90%" of the world scientists say it's true, isn't this an appeal to the mass?
Someone said I was not a man of science because I did not believe something a scientist said. This seems contradictory, at least...
