I am torn about this situation.

On the one hand, if this community is supposed to be about science (the procedure by which we achieve greater understanding of our world), not philosophy or religion, then does this meme fit here?

While on the other, this community is "A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking", so carry on!🤪

The conversation around these memes are super therapeutic for those of us raised in fundie households.

I'm just joking around - part of science is to always continue to ask questions and be skeptical, so this meme definitely is about science 🤣

Arguably, you can't have science without philosophy. For example you're distinguishing what's science based on the work of 20th century philosophers
