>it's true irregardless of whether you believe in it.
No it isn't. Until the 1960s science said that neutrons were a fundamental particle, the people who didn't believe that were subsequently proved right.

This is a short video of a negro Harvard scientific researcher explaining how he was prevented from publishing his scientific research essentially because it showed a lack of racism.
Pretty much the exact opposite of the Eric Stewart at Florida State.

This demonstrates the importance of plagiarism at Harvard. If you try to publish original research its almost certainly going either run afoul of the conventional wisdom, which isn't allowed to be contradicted, or its going to be completely boring and little better than a replication study. But if you plagiarize then you're guaranteed to not be stepping on anyone's toes and nobody will mess with you.
Shows how much things have changed in academia from the days when picrel quote was considered acceptable.

Theres a big difference between an atheistic narcissist who needs to be right all the time and an honest humble Christian that wants learn by being shown where he is wrong

exactly wrong, science is always just waiting to be falsified

>no one has come up with a better theory (yet)
>therefore, the current prevailing theory is bound to be eventually disproved

politics surrounding science isn't science
there is nothing scientific about politics
by your own metrics, everything is political, but you don't see people posting /pol/ and /x/ shit on /a/.

>reeeeeee you can't just criticize science
>science is perfect and inarguable
>t. basedence fangoy
meanwhile real scientists:
>this shit is all wrong af
>science sucks
>lets tear it a new asshole and see if we can figure out whats really going on

We get it, that image makes you angry because it contradicts your MSM soience brainwashing by plainly showing that the temperature of Earth is decreasing rather than increasing as your MSM brainwashing says.
The anger and frustration you're feeling is cognitive dissonance, reality doesn't ring true the way you belief system says it does. When you experience cognitive dissonance you can either get angry and emotional over it and try to ignore the fact that your system of belief does not dovetail with observed reality or you can accept that your beliefs are wrong and use the cognitive dissonance as a means of learning and bringing you worldview more in tune with reality. Children and low IQs do the former, mature higher IQs do the later

>just "have faith" they say, "trust the experts"
its absurd that 200 year old scientific are held in such esteem. science is about ruining preexisting theory in order to refine it, but darwin is treated like god given gospel, doubting it is considered heresy and provokes strong emotional reactions from the science fundamentalists who serve as the religious conservatives of the atheists. the whole attitude is antithetical to the actual scientific method

why does debunking an ancient 1800s scientific theory upset you so much?

>NOOOOO, muh pet theory can't be wrong!!!
>I memorized it out of a textbook, took me a whole hour to memorize it
>that book cost $120 it can't be wrong
>Imma just ignore the experimental evidence and keep on insisting muh pet theory i memorized out of a textbook is correct
why does the IFLS crowd hate learning and scientific progress so much?

Imagine you devoted your entire youth and young adulthood to becoming an expert in a a nonsensical flawed theory, what would you do when it started to become glaringly apparent that when you devoted decades to was a total waste?
would you just laugh it off and try to start fresh from scratch or would you put a lot of effort into trying to deny reality in order to hide your shame from public view?
