초록

우리 지질학 분야에서 일어난 학술 토의 일부를 소개하고 그 결과에 대한 필자의 의견을 제시한다. 옥천층군, 묘곡층 그리고 제주도 사람 발자국의 시대에 관한 것 그리고 일부 언론의 오보에 관하여 저자의 의견을 제시한다. 학문은 어느 분야나 다양한 의견들 사이에 논쟁과 토의를 통해 발전한다. 건전한 토의는 학문의 발전을 위해 필요한 것이다. 우리가 과학사에서 익히 알고 있는 다윈의 "종의 기원"에 대한 찬반 논쟁, 베게너의 "대륙이동설"이 발표된 이후의 과학자들 사이의 논쟁은 유명하다. 학술 논쟁이나 토의에서 먼저 고려해야 할 점은 어떠한 형태로든 권위가 개입되어서는 안 된다는 사실이다. 그리고 개인적 감정이나 학문 외적 요인들이 섞여서도 안 된다. 과학을 비롯한 학문은 어디까지나 진실의 바탕 위에서 행해져야 한다. 반대론자들은 합리적 이론에 근거해서 대안을 제시하면서 논리적 전개로 이의를 제기해야 한다. 기존 연구에 대한 진지한 검토 없이 즉흥적인 반대는 진실 접근에 도움이 되지 않는다. 과학적 사실을 보도함에 있어서 신속 보도도 중요하지만 좀 더 신중하게 보도해야 하고 오보가 생겼을 경우 즉시 이 사실을 독자들에게 알려야 한다. 이는 언론의 신뢰도를 위해 반드시 실현되어야 한다.

This article reviews a few academic discussions in our geological society. The author presents his opinion on the discussions regarding the ages of the Okcheon Group, Myogog Formation, and hominid footprints of the Jeju Island, as well as on the inaccurate reportage in mass media. The academia advances via healthy debates and discussions. The arguments for and against Darwin's "Origin of Species" and scientific debates regarding Wegener's "Continental Drift Hypothesis" are well known. In academic debates or discussions, authority should not be involved in any form. Academic research should be conducted based on scientific principles and evidence-free of personal preferences or other nonacademic factors. Opponents should challenge with scientific approaches, suggesting alternatives based on science. Opposition without scientific basis is not productive in conducting academic research in search of scientific truth. Often, the news media delivers inaccurate information to the public-intentionally or unintentionally. There must be a mechanism to immediately identify and rectify inaccurate, false, or fake information for the benefit of the public and the credibility of the news media.
