I went to college for the sciences and have worked in the sciences. We're trained to view research as overall trustworthy and a great foundation upon which to build new studies (but to also keep an eye out for bias and studies bought for by companies with an MO). To watch all of that blow up this year is horrifying. I might not even stay in the field after all, after losing my job in it. If everything is lies I might as well go make more money doing something else.

    What is the difference between the Big Bang and creation

    Doesn't the big bang theory imply our existence is some kind of fluke accident?

      The big bang theory was actually created by a Catholic because the church in Rome wanted a creation point. Einstein originally imagined an infinitely existing universe, they talked him round.

      But Einstein was a subhuman who never discovered anything at all. All he did was copy other people's work and take credit for it, never once mentioning the original authors.

      Lol, nice Asimov reference.

      His books from I Robot to the end of the foundation series is ONE STORY.

      Really? I never knew this... but it makes sense...

      I read them twice and there are too many themes running through out them all. I see it as one continuation of the same world to galactic civ.

      The big bang is fake.

      Easily disprovable, but supported by occult science/scientist.

      The cosmic microwave radiation was EM noise from the radio telescope's proximity of the ocean.

      We all knew pseudo-science studies were just a farce anyways. p-hacking, lack of diversity, willful ignorance of controlling for variables, etc. all just so Mr. Shamash could acquire his Ph.D.

      I just stick to real science nowadays.

        can't be african studies or feminist studies

        [–]C3P0 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

        Physics, chemistry, biology, botany, etc.

        Not: psychology, pharmaceuticals, or like Popper said, gender studies.

          Whether or not something is a science is an opinion, similar to calling mathematics or computer programming an art. Students can even major in "food science."

          You misread the entire thing imo C3PO. The subject here is the so called hard sciences, specifically medicine.

          The quote is saying they aren't really much better than BS pseudo science.

          It is the problem called the crisis of reproducibility.

          Medicine isn't science generally. Doctors admit to mostly just guessing what is wrong with people--that is why they say, "get a second opinion." Opinions are not science.

          Yeah, setting up OF is easy nowdays

          As a fellow scientist, this pains me to read you may leave the profession, though I understand your position. Civilization's tragedy that liars have purposely overtaken science.
