in fact, here's another BULLSHIT part of science for all these non-missing links

scientists got everything all fucking wrong, so as usual they conjecture their way out of it. You see, we're homo sapien sapiens... theyre homo sapien neanderthalus

science so fulla shit and always wrong

[Black Jesus]

science so stupid

their excuse for always being wrong is o it helps us correct the theory

BUT BELEIVE IT AS FACT UNTIL WE DO

I think scientists "know" that nothing is proven and everything we know could turn out to be false, but human nature causes people to want to believe in something firm they know to be true. As a result, people who have been studying a theory for years won't want to throw away years of their hard work and the emotional attachment they have for said theory even though deep down they know it may have been disproven.

Can you elaborate on this statement please?

Of which theory do you speak?

How may have it been "disproven"?

falsifiability is foundational in science

literally everything is looked at from the "how can I make this not true" standpoint

I speak not of any specific theories, only of the opposing natures of the scientific method and peoples desires for knowledge.

My point was, that it is often hard for a scientist to reconcile a scientific nature "questioning every answer" with another human nature "looking for answers."

Wasn't Einstein notorious for trying to reconcile his theories of the universe with his pantheistic/determisitic beliefs?

let it be known that this guy really hates science!!

[Hitchens]

It could be worse, science could be like you and never change anything despite being proven wrong repeatedly.

[Black Jesus]

nah I love science like physics because it can actually be proven with math and experimentation (hence, composed of laws and not theories)

well classic mechanical physics shit like kinematics and thermodynamics anyways... the theoretical garbage is the same ballpark as evolution and global warming tho

[Hasbinbad]

"science" knows that only mathematics and logic can be "proven."

dats y they write theories and laws instead
