    Scientists do not question the concept of science. They challenge results of tests by performing new ones to replicate the proposed results.

    I think maybe you need to retake some high school classes

      No, and neither do people who question the results, which is, in fact, what most “anti-science” people do.

      Skepticism is part of the scientific method. Blind faith is not.

        Hate to break it to you sunshine, going “nuh uh” at any science you don’t like cause it clashes with your world view you gained from religion or your Bigoted daddy?

        That’s called blind faith.

          Thanks for your opinion but I didn’t deny any science, all I said is I don’t fault people for questioning it.

          Also, your insults are unnecessary and childish and don’t really help your argument. I’ve argued my case respectfully and without name-calling, and I suggest you do the same.

            “I don’t have an argument so I’m going to deflect by saying I’M not a science denier I just spend my time defending science deniers. Also anyone who disagrees with me is a childish meanie 😭”

              “I don’t have an argument so I’m just gonna pretend you said something you didn’t and argue with that.”

        There are a number of easy classes you can take online, where you will learn about neat things like “the water cycle” and “why is the sky blue?”

        Try hard enough and you might even get a gold star from the teacher

        Skepticism is the literal precursor to the scientific method, and that’s where you’re stopping. There is no science at the skepticism step.

        You’re basically saying, “Gravity isn’t real because I don’t see proof.”

        A real scientist would drop an apple, a feather, a bowling ball, and verify it.

          Good, so we agree on something then. No skepticism = no science.

          You’re basically saying, “Gravity isn’t real because I don’t see proof.”

          Strawman. I didn’t say that.

          A real scientist would drop an apple, a feather, a bowling ball, and verify it.

          Yes, and some of the people in the “anti-science” community ARE doing that. And the rest of them are conducting a self-experiment on what happens if you ignore all the science…
