okay, i can just as easily find tons of shit saying the contrary, will it be scientific documented evidence when you disagree with it?
(hillarious propaganda video removed)
There are so many people in the world who just have no clue about what the word "scientific" means. This is a classic example.
I actually put myself through listening to all 11 minutes of that, just to confirm that it is nothing but
propaganda, and contains nothing but the author's biased opinion and no science whatsoever. There was one statistic quoted from the US census prior to 1930, but then he went on to say that this meant a whole pile of unrelated claptrap was true.
The rules of science are very clear. There is no 'grey area' - that is the whole point. Science must be repeatable. You must prove it, and you must be able to describe it in such a way that somebody else can conduct an experiment based on your hypothesis and get the same results.All genuine scientific studies of value are then
"peer reviewed". That means that if you are a physicist who wants to claim a new discovery, you publish it - then all the rest of the physicists in the world who are working in the same field (i.e. your peers) have the opportunity to test it out and and decide if its actually true or not.
Although most people don't see it, the competition between scientists is absolutely fierce. For every scientist who wants to claim a new discovery, there are another 10 who are competing for the same research grants and are desperate to prove them wrong, and they will, if they can. But if something is a scientific fact, it can't be proved wrong.
You can't take 1 fact then use that to claim that something else is true. That is called
conjecture.
Science is
NOT:
- Stuff that is said in fancy video presentations.
- Stuff that people preface with "scentific studies show"
- Stuff that actors in white coats say.
- Stuff that genuine scientists say!... they can be corrupt or nuts or just plain wrong, like any other person.
It's only science, if its provable, repeatable and peer reviewed.
Nobody reading this post can deny it, because the scientific process is what created the computer you're using to read it. Your computer does not work based on somebody's opinion, it works according to the known laws of physics, that were discovered using the scientific process.
Sir Isaac Newton -- The Discoverer of Gravity! Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and mathematician and physicist who lived from 1642-1727. The legend is that Newton discovered Gravity when he saw a falling apple while thinking about the forces of nature.
So based on this argument, gravity isn't real?
... and that is exactly the sort of twisted pseudo-logic that charletans have invented and spoon fed to simpletons since the dawn of society. It quotes a fact - in this case a fact involving a scientist (ooooo it must be true!), then goes on to make an unrelated claim that pushes somebody's agenda.
I amazes me that in 2016 there are still people doughy enough to fall for this sort of garbage.
humanity has always built off of what others have done, all of human history is just flat out progress, all the way
No. People get things wrong. Entire civilizations rise and fall. Many, many people tried to fly by flapping their arms, but no matter how many people tried this exercise it never helped the invention of the aeroplane.
One thing I always observe in young people like yourself Tora, is the belief that the people of the past were somehow ignorant.
Clearly some parts of society remain every bit as ignorant today as they have ever been.
