> scientific consensus

“Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What are relevant are reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period.” - Michael Chrichton

Do you have any evidence to support this so-called "truth"?

There is strong evidence that IQ differences between human groups are environmental and not genetic [1][2][3].

Based on the easily googled wide availability of this information and given the environmental causes of IQ differences, I wonder if an easy scientific corollary is that racists must have environmental factors behind their inability to comprehend the established science in this matter. LoL

I am talking about the truth that consensus and science are different.

		> I am talking about the truth that consensus and science are different. Yes, same. Do you have any evidence for this so-called "truth" that scientific consensus is not science? It's like claiming that the scientific consensus that 1+1 equals 2 is not science. Or that the scientific consensus that the Earth goes around the Sun is not science. Oh wait, that latter bit is probably triggering for a bunch of people... but probably not for real scientists, though.
