    Default Science

    We've had a few thousand years of human history to evaluate this, and here's the scoop: science is a good thing. Without it, we've had periods like the Dark Ages. Science has saved a whole lotta people, given us an amazing standard of living, and for you space buffs out there, has even put us on the moon.

    Real estate dudes don't really know science. They know real estate. Same with most other people who have expertise in a given area, but haven't really studied science, medicine or any other field in depth.

    Let's keep going w/ science. It really is the better option.

    What are yours, btw? Saw your thread on masks. Do you really think you know more than the entire world healthcare community?

    I agree it seems obvious. Which is why the anti-science movement perplexes me.

    One the whole it is, but science is also wrong a lot. Science has also been used in the name of evil as well. Then there's science as fraud--often deliberate fraud and often for political purposes.

    So, when science says something, pull out this because you're going to need it.



    Just because a "scientist" says it doesn't necessarily make it true. Question and triple check their answers.

    ":SCIENCE" nowdays is a leftist political propaganda arm, where "CONSENSU" is reached by a show of hands, instead of Scientific Method.

    Like "TRANSGENDER FEMALES ARE REAL FEMALES"....

    Science would be fine with the cult if it didn't constantly show how wrong DT is.

    They like the advances, the new technology. It's just that darn reality part.

    what are you saying? that they think they are male? and that should count?

    so if a 15 year old says they feel 21 years old should we let them drink alcohol? If not why not?

    But the left is bad about putting the word ‘science’ in front of their proclamations as a way to advance them.

    The 55 genders thing for one. Masks, more recently. There is no *hard science* behind either one. And if there’s no hard science, it becomes a matter of cherry picking which scientists you want to appeal to.

    That’s the misuse of science. Science was never intended to be used as a political tool or a means to bring about social change.

    The left has politicized science just like virtually everything else right up to the NFL and NASCAR.

    They’re the worlds worst funsucks. They’re worse than the Christian fundamentalists ever thought about being.

    Sure. Degrees in science and math and I still don't understand them.
