    ISG Editorial: Scientists Creating Truth
    When the absence of facts is covered up by created truth.

    Don’t worry; this is not another andesine report. But it is an editorial view of the scientific community who have used their status as scientists to produce scientific truths to fill in a void of scientific facts. Truth
    –v- fact. Interesting concept.

    Truth –v- Fact

    A business law professor once told me that the court room is no place for
    truth, only for facts. That was an interesting concept for me as these
    both seem to be one and the same. But they are very different concepts
    on a legal level. Truths are relative, facts are not. Truths can vary
    from person to person based on personal viewpoints and agendas, while
    facts are immutable. Truths can be manipulated while facts stand on
    their own merit.
    An example:
    Truth:
    The earth is the center of the universe, and the sun rotates around the
    earth. This was the accepted truth from scientific giant Aristotle and
    the Catholic Church. No one dared to question this truth.
    Fact:
    The earth rotates around the sun. Publishing this fact almost got
    Nicolai Copernicus killed. Going against both the church and the
    scientific community completely refuted the accepted truth of the issue.
    But in spite of a created truth, the fact was much different.
    Truth –v- Fact. Different concepts, different legal definitions.


    How scientists create truth to fill in the lack of facts

    The gemology industry’s scientific community has used the ability to create
    truths without supporting facts in a variety of issues. It is quite
    easy to do. All you need is for one scientist to issue a report on a new
    gemstone mine. Using that first report a second ...

    Dr. Peretti's team confirms Shane McClure's
    previous concerns over Tibet mines.

    We wish to inform everyone of a newly published report (21 September 2010) regarding a 2009 research expedition to the claimed Tibet andesine mines by a Swiss research group from the renowned GRS Gemresearch Swisslab of Lucerne, Switzerland, and the Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry of Zurich, Switzerland. This report includes both in situ gathering of specimens during an expedition to the Tibet mine areas as well as advanced testing of the samples to verify their natural or
    diffusion treated status.


    A link to this report is included below, but due to the rather difficult read of this report for lay persons we wanted to simply post up some of the important conclusions for your review, and then everyone can read the
