No, and neither do people who question the results, which is, in fact, what most "anti-science" people do.
Skepticism is part of the scientific method. Blind faith is not.
Hate to break it to you sunshine, going "nuh uh" at any science you don't like cause it clashes with your world view you gained from religion or your Bigoted daddy?
That's called blind faith.
Thanks for your opinion but I didn't deny any science, all I said is I don't fault people for questioning it.
Also, your insults are unnecessary and childish and don't really help your argument. I've argued my case respectfully and without name-calling, and I suggest you do the same.
"I don't have an argument so I'm going to deflect by saying I'M not a science denier I just spend my time defending science deniers. Also anyone who disagrees with me is a childish meanie 😭"
The guy thinks no one got anywhere from staying in school, I got odds on them being anti vax as well
"I don't have an argument so I'm just gonna pretend you said something you didn't and argue with that."
There are a number of easy classes you can take online, where you will learn about neat things like "the water cycle" and "why is the sky blue?"
Try hard enough and you might even get a gold star from the teacher
So you're saying the cure for bootlicking is becoming a teacher's pet? Isn't that just bootlicking with extra steps?
Teachers pet? What is this, high school?
If you think this sort of behavior stops when you get to college, I got news for you...
I've been a TA, I have personally witnessed it.
Im saying the cure for being a loser is to stop sluffing class, and maybe your grades will improve
No thanks. Nobody has ever become great from attending class.
Pfftt, ok bud. "Im not anti science! But no one ever became great by learning"
What a self own
What if I told you you don't need to go to class to learn?
What if I told you that the vast majority of real science actually does require you to go to class to learn?
I would say you're a bootlicking teacher's pet.
Licking what boot? The boot of the concept of learning things other people know?
Let me guess. You think vaccines cause autism, right? Because mommy told you otherwise, and mommy scary?
You can learn that from books, too. Or watching YouTube. Plenty of ways to learn that don't require a classroom setting.
Not as a rule, no. But I'm honestly very uninformed about this topic and currently don't have a reason to change that.
Let me guess, you enjoy making wild assumptions about people based on minimal evidence and then have imaginary arguments in your head with them which you always win.
LMAO okay buddy. Can't quit starting wars, eh? Old habits die hard I guess.
Also, for someone so ardently advocating for going to class you have a suspiciously large amount of free time on a Monday morning...
"Oooh, witness me, I have a job, I'm very important! I work all day to pay taxes and rent, but at least they don't keep me on a short leash."
Yeah, see, I knew you were a midwit.
BTW did you get one of these when you graduated?
Skepticism is the literal precursor to the scientific method, and that's where you're stopping. There is no science at the skepticism step.
You're basically saying, "Gravity isn't real because I don't see proof."
A real scientist would drop an apple, a feather, a bowling ball, and verify it.
Good, so we agree on something then. No skepticism = no science.
Strawman. I didn't say that.
Yes, and some of the people in the "anti-science" community ARE doing that. And the rest of them are conducting a self-experiment on what happens if you ignore all the science...
