All human beings are scientists. We all ask questions. Unfortunately, the questions that we ask are often answered by prejudice, illogical strategies, religious propaganda from the 1st and 5th centuries and so on. All human beings would be better human beings if they knew how effective the scientific method is to help all of us ask questions, make decisions, draw inferences etc.

"Scientist should not just report facts also insure the implementation of their findings" WTF?..now the scientist have to be like a thougth police? this his a dangerous path!

All of you scientists are wrong. It's not about the facts. It is about science, which is the scientific method, not a book of facts. It's about asking a question, framing that question in a hypothesis, a null hypothesis, seeking indicators for the elements being observed/studied, and offering probabilities. The teachers of science teach it as a book of facts and the creative students just seek alternative answers, one of which is tuning out. However, if the scientists spoke more about the scientific method, about the importance of statistical analysis and probabilities. Everyone gets fed up real quick when they are fed "facts" that do not allow for evaluation. Science is not math. Science is not our god. Science is asking a question and following a logical procedure to make evaluations and decisions. Saying scientists don't make decisions is ridiculous. We always make decisions based on probabilities. Scientists need to first of all learn how to communicate and not act as if they have all the answers.
