RE: Epic Fail

in #discussion6 years ago

I don't think you're legitimately in possession of anything scientific if you think abortion is "murder", while actual genocide in the middle-east is ok, and deny climate science.

The scientific method is actually brilliant and simple. Yet it has absolutely NOTHING to do with what you just wrote. At least in the way you phrased them.

Do you know what the most important step in the scientific method is?

Asking questions.

Bashing people for denying or disagreeing is not SCIENCE. It is religion.

It is more like telling someone they are speaking blasphemy, or calling them a heretic.

It has ZERO to do with science. The television talking heads telling you things on their teleprompters doesn't mean you should believe them.

Oh and before you reach for the 97% consensus aspect of climate change.

Consensus is NOT part of the scientific method.

If every single person on the planet was suddenly in consensus that something was true that was in fact false, it would not suddenly become true. The inverse is true when speaking about believing things are false.

Even so. That is irrelevant if you actually follow the scientific method.

Do you know what a person who follows the scientific method rigorously is called? A scientist.

Do you think a person with a degree that fails to follow the scientific method is worthy of the title scientist? If you do. You'd be wrong.

Science is not a popularity contest.

The most important thing in science is to ask questions and continually challenge what we know.

When they no longer allow that it is no longer science.

Sort:  

being skeptical that the earth may be a globe and not flat isn't being scientific, it's being a fucking moron.

What is your point? I didn't mention that anywhere. Nice red herring though. Perhaps you should go do some daily quiz/flash cards on critical thinking. It'll help.

Also being skeptical about anything is purely semantics and is how people like you try to make any challenge to something you BELIEVE in heresy.

YOU don't know what science is.

You clearly are religious though. Though perhaps you don't realize it. ;)
