I think you are right about a great deal and the problem of money contaminating what should be Scientific research affects more than just trees and fossil fuel. A problem cropped up at the RationalWiki article, Evidence for the historical existence of Jesus Christ Is a consensus among historians that Jesus was a real person reliable? And there's a heated debate on the talk page, see Talk:Evidence for the historical existence of Jesus Christ. I asked, 'Where does the money come from?' Answer, some money comes from independent sources that want to see research following the Scientific method. Other money comes from sources like the Templeton Foundation that won't like to pay for research suggesting that Jesus didn't even exist. I added a section, Sociology and power politics influence consensus and Enemies of Christianity writing embarrassing accounts. I'm wondering if I'm onto something that was previously missed.
