I had a class in community college with a Christian "science" kid. He thought it was unreasonable that climate scientists could accurately measure things like global temperature and sea level rises. What really floored me about this is we were literally sitting in front of a computer controlled measuring machine capable of measuring sizes down to something like 0.001mm.

Real no critical thinking hours.

    No one has felt it? No one? Has felt it? No one, not a single person this author has heard of, has had so much as a static shock? I'm actually freaking out. Like it's actually telling you to deny your own experiences. Like actual brainwashing.

    The sun is the source of electricity? What "scientists" think that? Why not just leave it at no one knows? Why make up someone to be wrong? Is the point to say that EVERY actual scientific fact is wrong? I want to commit an act of violence against the authors for subjecting my eyes to this nonsense. I want to bully them.

    It’s perfectly legal to teach this in Florida but not that trans people exist

    How can anyone even believe in christian god, completely untrustworthy, while Thor promised lightning and here it is, Odin promised no Jotunn anywhere and i never seen even a single one. Smh.

    Sun worship is the best religion because

    a) The Sun is right there

    b) Literally all life on earth would die if it disappeared

    c) It's inconceivably powerful and the only thing that prevents it from being an actual deity (for humanity) is its lack of sentience

    Christian god? Fraud. Thor? Bozo. But if the 2 octillion ton fusion reactor in the sky ever tells me to bow, you bet your ass I'm gonna fall on my knees.

    You've convinced me. Ever notice how sun haters deny the power of our god while all the food they eat would not exist of it were not for photosynthesis? If they really hate the sun so much, why don't they burrow deep below the earth?

    Asking philosophical questions about scientific subjects and complaining that scientists won't engage in philosophy. Where "does" time come from?

  • Typing and printing made possible by generations of people who had to be really confident in their control of electricity through transistors. You're taking a massive leap insofar as electromagnetic energy being a fundamental force of the universe having an unknown origin in the ultimate sense. It's the same way we have had hundreds of years of perfectly useful Newtonian gravity - going so far as to map the solar system with satellites, but can't make our model of the galaxy work without dark matter.

    Also, we do see, hear, and feel lightning. And we can explain it. The intellectual dishonesty of "some people believe this or that" like these are worthwhile perspectives. It's sickening. Even given the perspective that we don't know, there's a certain lack of onus on one to use the scientific method to go figure it out. Like the purpose of science is to be told what is and what isn't correct.

    i didn't go to a christian school or anything but I feel like having been forced to go to sunday school and church every weekend for 12 years of my early life really fucked up my brain where i would probably have been much clearer on everything in general had I never been forced to go

    Ya I was Catholic, and although it was much less bad that a lot of types of Christianity, I'm still of the opinion that all the absolute boredom must have done some damage (or at least lack of development) to my brain. I could have done much better things with my childhood than wait for the time to pass and stare at stained glass windows.
