"whether or not science is real"?

science is just science. It changes with new data. It's not a religion with "absolute truths" to be "believed". It's never "settled".

Do you have any peer-reviewed, purely academic sources to back that up? No? Well I consume a steady diet of only the most prestigious, peer-reviewed, purely academic research papers that are proven fact, you sweet summer child

Thought you might have been missing reddit so I wanted to give you some nostalgia!

Obviously its distilled down through sources like "I Fucking Love Science" "Bill Nye the [Science] Guy" "Popular Mechanics" (like it's for all sciences you bigot) and "John Oliver" but im sure you dont know the difference you science denying cultist.

Let me go pray to Bill Gates for saving the world with his vaccines.

It's a story of a man's epic struggle to shake his addiction to hobo cock and how he rationalizes the cure. That which is to immerse himself in the underworld where he stays drunk on hobo cock for a year straight.

Will he shake the hobo cock addiction or will he revisit hobo cock? Buy the book to find out!

Right. Science can NEVER "prove" anything. All it can do is offer an explanation for the currently-available data. That explanation can be and often is totally upended by additional data.

I find that these sciencephiles are some of the most fundamentally unscientific, ignorant people. They are not skeptical. They are not curious. They seem to have very little interest in understanding, comprehending, or expanding knowledge. They have almost no capacity for nuance. And they think 'science' can't be wrong without realizing science is wrong more than it's right by its very nature.

In essence, they're all basically just walking appeals to authority, and it's absolutely embarrassing that they've been allowed to claim themselves as some kind of 'science-defender' class.

We really need to come up with a fast way to shut this nonsense down. When they start with this angle, we need that simple talking point that shuts them down and makes them look stupid. That is the only way they stop and right now our side is somewhat boxed in by this idiocy, which is why they keep using it.

Something like, “Science is a method, not a brand. It requires data, experiments, testing, evidence. Science is a process of perpetual scrutiny, not a buzzword you slap on your T-shirt like Gucci.”

I think the moral high ground on this is to make them look shallow.

A good line on their climate hysteria might be: “You Democrats have been saying the world is going to end from climate change in ten years for the past thirty years. The first time we believed you, the second time we gave you the benefit of the doubt, but you can only cry wolf so many times before people start to doubt the doomsday prophecies.”

But there are many fools on the left who think they are very smart and believe in scientism. They don't realize they created their own religion and currently in terms of human survival it is one of the dumbest around.
