40 Ignorant People Getting Shut Down With Science Facts

I never knew that a simple apple had such a complex chemical composition. I learn something new everyday.

SNAP!

One of my favourite tweets of all time (the second one, obviously). I hope to be one day this articulate.

Alan Turing was praised for what he has done during war time and condemned for whom he loved. That's the great tragedy of his life.

Dear God-botherers. If god drowned everyone except one family on the planet because they were evil then he believed that unborn children could be evil (not to mention all the born children). You anti-abortion types must really hate god for that.

That last remark hits it home!

I love my Space Pen! Works great.

Never ending story of idiots spreading a disease because they do not believe in science.

I think we should celebrate holidays of all existing religions, that should be given equally to all followers and non followers. Yay! Every day is a holiday! ♡

Hilarious!

Excellent campaign.

I can't believe that the idiot had 1.8k up-votes. Yowsers, so many dafties.

Lol. How dare you debunk the nonsense I'm spewing on the internet with science? Don't you ever do that again!!!!

Ouch, that NASA burn

That student has many shocks ahead of him in life methinks

oh good grief, we are all in trouble

Even if you'd put the entire flat-earth movement in a spaceship and circle the earth in any way they want, they'd be telling you that it's a trick with mirrors and projectors. But at least they are harmless and don't hurt other people with their nonsense.

I mean, astrophysics aren't directly related to climate change, but you can expect someone who has a PhD in it to know à lot more than someone so unintelligent that they spell virus vIRUS and say that people who believe the truth(that climate change exists) are criminals.

hahahaha I love it when people who have no flippin' idea who they are talking to make an a*s out of themselves. I always look up whoever I am in a discussion/argument/debate with before I make a comment that I might regret later. You never know if someone's background qualifies them to be right or not.

History is there to teach the future lessons. But of course, you do need some kind of education to be able to understand those lessons.

But but I saw it on Facebook so it must be true! hahaha

Oooo roasted!

Calculating the amount of valence electrons in a nucleus is easy, since there are none.

People seem to forget that astronauts are bonafide scientists with degrees in engineering, and other biological and mathematical sciences. DId they think that they were just a bunch of space cowboys?

Do people forget that literally everything is made up of chemicals...?

"A little knowledge (learning) is a dangerous thing." Alexander Pope

The theory that vaccines cause autism has been completely debunked years ago. Did the anti-vaxxers not get the memo? It doesn't matter. They'll still believe rumour and hearsay over science.

Someone should probably tell them that Darwin believed in God and evolution simultaneously throughout most of his research years.

"Organically" ... jeez people are stupid!

Roasted and toasted

Long live the onion!

More and more European countries make vaccinating mandatory. Unvaccinated children are banned from schools in those countries and parents can be forced to have their children vaccinated. And rightly so. Screw your "strong convictions" and "religious beliefs", our national health is endangered because of your b******t and we are getting tired of your stupidity.

It's so sad to see one thinks that if their kids are momentarily healthy without vaccination, that's proof that this state will keep up indefinitely. It most likely won't. It would be funny to see their faces when they realize their mistakes, but it won't, because it would be to the expense of the child who'd deserve better.

I instantly tune out anyone who refers to grown women as 'girls' anyway, especially when they're talking about an educated woman in a high level position. I'm fairly certain this same man wouldn't refer to a male meteorologist as a 'weather boy.'

Tell that to the families of women who died from cervical cancer. Including a 15 year old girl in the UK a few years ago. Plus it’s been proven that men can be affected by HPV as well so some are campaigning for teenage boys to have the vaccine too. Oh and it might not cause cancer, but more often genital warts and other infections. Who would want to be protected from getting genital warts right?! Morons...

My husband had hpv throat cancer. He almost died and has dealt with long lasting effects from the cancer and treatment. Anyone who refuses to let their children get a vaccine that will prevent a devastating and deadly cancer should have their children taken away. I witness his suffering and it horrific.

I have HPV. Probably for years now. Theoretically I could have given it to my children by birthing them. My doc even had suspicions I could have cancer. Thats why they cut away some of my cervix. Thankfully there was nothing there, but YIlive in fear of getting it now. My children will ALL get that vaccine!

I'm not sure when this was posted, but my kids started their first HPV vacs when they were about 11. Also, it's an STD, so dudes can spread it whether they show symptoms of it or not. I also had most of my cervix removed due to pre-cancerous cells from HPV I apparently had, when I was 25. Wish I could have had that vaccine and been able to carry a second child to term.

This s*** infuriates me I'm currently living with HPV that could have been avoided if my mom had a damn brain. Men are so infected it's giving them all oral cancer. There's also no way to test men for HPV I am so sick of these uneducated idiots.

HPV is contagious though, that's the point of the vaccine isn't it? AND a disease can still pose a threat without being contagious. Such as cancer. *sigh*

I'm 31 and set to get the HPV vaccine during my next doctor's appointment.

Yes, there can be terrible side-effects to the HPV vaccine. But it has THREE dosages (at least in the UK). There should be pletny of time to realize that compelting the vaccine is not a good idea. That the nurses of paretns of one girl did it anyway is not the fault of the vaccine. The same goes for not listening ot instructions like NO SPORTS after some vaccines. Getting vaccinated cna be exhausting for the body - let it rest and recover.

the boy learned these sh*t from his parents... genetical stupidity.

HPV is totally contagious and is absolutely a danger to the public. Amazing what you learn when you take a little time to educate yourself. /s

I had cervical cancer. If a vaccine can reduce the odds, I strongly recommend it over the alternative.

Aaaaand how is it not contagious?

Umm Anthropology is not easy.

Ye gods, even I know apricot seeds are poisonous
