It’s true that people’s give too (Edit because I think people’s don’t understand,i should say faith because it’s true that say credit is a wrong way of saying it sorry about that) much faith to science. Indeed science, especially when it come to consensus is to be believe, a scientific experiments can be replicate and if multiple result give the same result and/or give us the same conclusion, then that mean FOR NOW it’s a consensus. But never forget that we might one day have evidence that the experiment where wrong, that the conclusion what impregnates with ideology or that some important point where excluded.
After all scientists are also humans, even with the best analytics etc, our reflection, our ideology or our cognitive biases can make wrong conclusion or make people’s unconsciously excludes some contradictions.
In the end I think we should always be open to new theory, try to look and see people’s that don’t have the same ideology, political beliefs, opinions etc. It’s by trying to see the mountain in its globally that we shall be closer to the true.
In the ends those who use their “recent independent study” For evidence that what they think is the true are those who are the more blind. An independent or multiple independent study are not a consensus. They are indicator of what might be possible or true. Only a true consensus with years of research and experiment can give us a somewhat objective and definitive answer.
He’s saying this community is for memes (a type of funny image or joke, usually a cultural reference). So this is the wrong community for the discussion (and I honestly don’t know where it would fit). Edit: I noticed there is a meme, but usually the caption is just for a very short description for the visually impaired having it read to them.
Also, they’re taking your message as saying that science shouldn’t be trusted (a common anti-vaccine and anti-education argument made by many Christians) - that’s what they’re referring to about the “man with the megaphone and sign.” I don’t know if that’s what you were intending to say or not, but that’s how it came across. Your point makes sense, but they’re assuming your conclusion is that science in general is bad - mostly because of the recent political issues regarding that. Hope that helps.
