Exactly. Science is always meant to be questioned and if we never questioned it, we would still be living in the Stone Age.
Of course it makes sense why scientists defend their findings, after all who wants someone to tell them their whole life’s work is false? But we have people online defending this work and refusing to listen to other opinions because they take the findings as absolute. I am certain it’s just stupid people who want to “believe” science so they can feel like they are smart or whatever. All I know is in science if you form an opinion, you actively try to prove it wrong because a good opinion won’t be proven wrong. But what do I know, I only have a chemical engineering degree.
Maybe I went to a less lefty university but in upper level science classes when we were discussing theory, the professors never said this is absolute or this is the fact, they just said “this is the generally accepted theory at this time”. Even had one hippy chemistry teacher who said there is no question earths CO2 levels are at worrying high levels, but we don’t have enough information as to claim if it’s man made or not.
