[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (3 children) See also them using phrases like "believing in science". I don't have to believe in it, it's repeatable. Stop projecting your dumb worldview. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Dookieman12@piefed.social 10 points 3 weeks ago Whenever someone brings up "believing in science" remind them that science isn’t a matter of belief, it's a matter of understanding. The world is the way it is whether you "believe" in it or not. The world is the way it is whether you understand it or not, and life is a lot easier when you understand the world around you. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago True. Because they are willing to dig in their heels and reject evidence that doesn't fit their worldview, they assume that science-minded people are the same. They don't understand how "receive new data" and "refine or revise hypothesis" are important parts of the process. If they incorporated those steps, their belief system would implode. permalink fedilink source parent [–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 1 point 3 weeks ago You can not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that God exists. Issac Newton saw an apple fall and then dropped other objects to prove the existence of gravity. God = belief. Science = evidence. permalink fedilink source parent
