ITT: Things about science (or people's perception of science) that makes you depressed

For me, it's when people think it's antonym for, or has anything to do with, religion.

If thats depressing to you how can you post on /sci/ and not kill yourself?

[Anonymous No.1580342]

>>1580338
Because I'm using "depressed" in a loose context.

[Anonymous No.1580343]

Not a religiousfag at all but I hate when people full heartedly believe that evolution mutations are random and what we see to day are the ones that survived/thrived.

[Anonymous No.1580351]

When people think psychology or any social sciences are, well, science.

>>1580338
I can no longer feel anything for them.

trolling is an science

If its not random that what is directing it?

"Yeah, but YOU have faith in science!"

[Anonymous No.1580384]

I think its funny how religious people call science contradicting the Bible like astronomy, genetics, geology, and tectonic plates as the 'Darwinist' or the 'Evolutionist' view. Highlights their ignorance rather well.

[Anonymous No.1580391]

>>1580382
I usually answer that with "Why yes. I do have faith in science, just not YOUR kind of faith."

I dunno, thats why we have science to find out. I can't believe that fish just sprouted legs randomly. Its too convenient... not just fish but whales. Random species of fish sprouting random legs? Where are all the fish today with legs? surly they could survive in water without fins, I mean if a whale can move up on land and be totally defenseless.

If there's one true thing about this universe and existence as a whole, it's that everything happens in patterns.

Also read up on "20/20 bias," I guarantee you find this all "too convenient."

Oh jee look a fish that walks, how random of it to have legs in the front. Thats still a fin fucktard

[Anonymous No.1580461]

When people believe that the Big Bang means something came out of nothing.

NO IT FUCKING DOESN'T

I think it's depressing how science shows us time and time again that we're really nothing special.
Astronomically we're on this tiny rock in the middle of nowhere, around a star that's average at best. Also recently thousands of earth-like planets have been found.
In the small scale, we're nothing special either. Living and non-living matter looks exactly the same on the molecular level.
Every atom that forms our bodies existed way before we were born, and will continue to exist after. We're just a disposition of this matter at a certain point in time.

All those things show you how you *are* special -- just not in the way like mom and dad telling you you're special.

[Anonymous No.1580498]

>>1580461
When people, like the idiot I'm quoting, think that nothingness can literally exist.

[Anonymous No.1580635]

probably a common complaint but, people who think evolution means we came from chimps

[Anonymous No.1580667]

> when people think it's antonym for, or has anything to do with, religion.

WTF Kinda retards are you hanging out with?

[Anonymous No.1580677]

When people use quantum mechanics to "prove" magic.

I don't know what's worse; blatantly rejecting science, (evolution) or co-opting it to fit your spiritual goals. (Quantum Mechanics, confusing relativity with relativism)

when i found out that a nuclear reactor is really just a steam plant

[Anonymous No.1580730]

I hate hearing parrelel universes discribed as 'everythings exactly the same except you have 3 arms' or any explaination like that. Ok, so if they were to exist there could very well be such a place, but its misleading to only mention that 1 similar world and not explain that it is a result of an infinite amount of possibilities.

[Anonymous No.1580739]

People think that evolution means one day humans straight up evolved directly from a chimpanzee or something.

[Anonymous No.1580799]

People calling evolution "Darwinism" as if it is some sort of cult.

[GrandOrion No.1580899]

I kinda hate it when people think that an atom is just protons and neutrons in a ball, with electrons floating in nice little circular patterns around it...and everything else said
