40 Times People Tried To Argue With Years Of Science But Got Ridiculed Instead, As Shared On This Group (New Pics)
It's likely that none of us are new to scientifically wrong takes on social media. You know, your "the Earth is flat - prove me wrong" kind of posts that simply come with the digital Wild West we call Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
Few know this better than the r/FacebookScience community, then, which has made publicly displaying facepalm-worthy "scientific" takes into a sport since 2017. With almost 62,000 followers, it welcomes the science-denying pseudo-intellectuals as a barkeep does with regular drunkards. Anyway, a whole round of painfully ridiculous statements that have been approved by 4chan mods or Fox News (accurate only 10% of the time™) is on the house!

Load More Replies...The start of the decade was big for Twitter. As we were in the midst of the pandemic, doom-scrolling like our lives depended on it, the social media giant was flooded with false facts about Covid-19. Then, there were Trump's hectic attempts to sway the public to his side by claiming that the mail-in ballot "voting system is rigged." Having no other choice, Twitter stepped in, rolling in the fact-checking labels, helping users to navigate the realm of fake news.
Of course, spotting some "science-proofed" claims are more challenging than others. For example, have you heard that people swallow eight spiders a year while they sleep? Most of us did and for a while, it sounded credible because there was no way to fact-check it. Only around 2016 was this nightmare-inducing science fact debunked, showing how easily well-disguised bogus facts can creep through our defenses.

I prefer to call it "Mein Scriptures" because of all the "christian" a-holes who use it as a license to be d***s towards everyone & everything.
A 2019 Ipsos survey, conducted on behalf of the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI), shed light on this issue. The survey findings indicated that individuals often overestimate their ability to identify inaccurate information, underestimating the prevalence of misinformation.
According to the report, approximately 86% of respondents admitted to having initially believed news stories - most of them appearing on Facebook - that turned out to be false on at least one occasion. This highlights the alarming extent to which people can be susceptible to misleading information encountered online.

I worked in a home for developmentally disabled adults. One of my clients was born normal. His parents were Christian Scientists, and when he got a high fever as an infant, they prayed for him. The fever did enough brain damage that he was classified as developmentally disabled. I'm a Christian, but I believe God gave us intelligence for a reason. If He didn't want us to learn, He wouldn't have given us the ability to do so.

I have no problem with the concept of faith when it supports someone getting through an extremely traumatic experience and/or life (many of my students are refugees). However, when it is taught in a dogmatic fashion specifically to reduce critical thought, then it has leapt into the realm of control and power. This has been displayed all over the world in many different faiths, eras, and geographic regions.

All posts of this flavour clearly show that Religion does not equal Faith. I believe in God but Religion seems to forget one important thing; God left us two things, the Bible and the Universe and while Theologians study the bible to understand God, Scientists study the Universe for pretty much the same reason. Two sides of the same coin. So I will have faith in God but still happily go see a doctor if I get sick/injured. Religion is more about controlling the masses than bringing people closer to God.

In order to understand how our brains intercept scientifically inaccurate information and why some of us are keen to ignore scientifically "bulletproof" facts, we reached out to Andrew Shtulman, an associate professor of psychology and cognitive science at Occidental. Although we don't discuss what happens to us when one of the longstanding scientific facts suddenly evaporates into thin air (imagine being a Pluto enthusiast when it was downgraded to a “dwarf planet"), Shtulman says that we can trace how our sponge-like brains develop an understanding of the world around us - life and death, heat and motion - at our formative years.

When the main magma chamber of Mt. saint Helens clogged, the magma found a weak spot and blew out the side of the mountain instead, sending half the mountain blasting out horizontally and taking out everything in its path. This was arguably much much worse than the energy going out the top of the mountain. The blast radius was 5x the expected range. From above, the mountain looks like Pac-Man, with a big slice missing, and the trees are bare for miles and miles. If you haven’t seen fire of love, watch it!

Yup. Some quick Google fu says the Saturn V had a mass of 2.8 million kg, although it's not clear if that included the (relatively small) mass of the command module and LEM. The ascent module of the LEM was only about 5000kg. Even without the difference in gravity the same velocity would have been achieved with about 1/560th as much thrust as the launch from Earth.

The number of anthropologists that have stated we come from from apes can be counted on the fingers of one head. No scientist would ever say that. Humans and apes have a common ancestor, which makes us distant cousins, but we didn't evolve from apes.
As we came to learn in recent decades, one of the most powerful, and perhaps the most worrying, causes of the rejection of scientifically sound facts lies in America's rejection of scientists. For example, a 2011 poll found that 69% of Americans think that scientists have falsified climate change research. And although this has slightly improved since then, at least when it comes to climate change, the growing distrust in science came into the spotlight during the pandemic, with only a portion of adults in the United States agreeing that scientists are on their side.

Carrier to ham vis radio, ham operators had a phone patch to relay it the the last part of the way to whoever we were calling via phone line. So in that scenario my relatives would have been Nixon in this photo talking on a land line but the other end was via radio waves.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who has forgotten 100% of the chemistry stuff I learnt in high school. I was seriously wondering for a moment "Hmm, how DOES that work?" Only difference is, when there's something sciencey that I don't understand or that sounds contradictory, I don't assume that it's impossible or that scientists are wrong, I assume that I don't have the necessary knowledge to understand it. That makes soooo much more sense than assuming there's something weird going on.

There is still Latin, but who speaks it?, understands it? Certainly not a heap of cardinals in the Vatican. When Pope Benedict the XVI announced his resignation he did so in Latin, knowing full well that none of the cardinals to whom he made the announcement would understand a word he was saying. Later, when he made the announcement to the world, they were all up in arms because he didn't clear it with them first. "I did, but you guys just nodded." Who says the German pope didn't have a sense of humor?

Semi-off topic, there was a super-interesting article I read a few years back, about how Greece is littered with dinosaur fossils, and how the ancient Greeks would find these bones and decide that they belonged to ancient warriors and monsters of legend. Find a huge leg bone? It had to have belonged to Hercules. Huge skull with a hole in it (like a Brachiosaurus)? It must have been a Cyclops. The farmers and such who dug these bones up out of their fields would give them to the priests and priestesses, who would then place them in the temples and shrines to honor the gods. Sadly, a lot of the fossil record was lost not only by the random collecting of bones from who-knows-where over the millennia, but also by Victorian-era collectors who plundered the temples looking for Grecian pottery and decor, and who ended up tossing out or destroying the bones that had rested there.

DNA shared with humans in a meteorite means that some human picked up the meteorite.
RedMarbles 2 years ago
The absolute volume of work there is by scientists on what DNA humans share with other species and this person has the audacity to confidently announce that scientists neglect to say anything about it. How does this person think he knows about the shared DNA if not from the scientists? Regarding the meteorites, they have found nucleobases, which are organic molecules in DNA, so not the same thing as sharing DNA with the space rocks. Fascinating implications there though.

That's the interesting paradox of trying to prove evolution to people who just really don't want to hear it. Anytime you find a new animal and manage to pinpoint between which two species it fits evolutionary, in their mind you haven't filled in a gap, you have created 2 new gaps.

"God said ..." By the way, which God are we talking about here. The Bible contradicts itself on the topic. In Genesis it claims that Jehovah said this. But that's contradicted in Psalms where it claims that Elohim said it. Try using a Bible that doesn't contradict itself.
John Baker 2 years ago
"Elohim" isn't a name. It's a generic term equivalent to "God" in English. It came into popular use after the priests decided that speaking the "true name of God" was disrespectful and should be forbidden. Interestingly enough, though, it's plural. The singular form is "Eloah." Apparently the ancient Israelites couldn't make up their minds whether their religion was mono or polytheistic. ;-)

A more serious version of that question is: if the universe expanded from a single point as the Big Bang says, then how could uniform expansion have developed the density waves that later became galactic clusters, galaxies, stars and planets? It did, but it requires some serious mathematics to explain how.

Another set of questions would be. Where was the single point located ?And what caused it to expand ? And where is it expanding ? Also, if the universe is infinite, how is it expanding and where ?

Seems to me the Shroud of Turin has been debunked many times. 1) There is no mention of it till the 14th century, 2) The way the images appear on the shroud suggest a body wrapped head to toe the long way - which doesn't make a jot of sense, 3) Carbon dating places the origin of the cloth in the 13th or 14th century.

Wow… that poor kid! Having a parent who makes you sit in the cold with a broken ankle because they’re crazy… When I took my son to the ER at age 5 only one parent was allowed to stay with him. Did we want that? No! We both wanted to be there. But guess what took priority over our wants in that situation? My kid having a medical emergency! (He couldn’t breathe, it was terrifying). So dad left and I stayed. Oh, and we had to wear masks too. How can you possibly put something like that over the welfare of your child?? If the hospital said I had to wear my clothes backwards and hop on one foot through the door to get life saving medical treatment for my son I’d do it in an instant. I don’t have to agree with it or understand it. My son comes first. Now if they wanted me to do that to shop in a store, I’d probably just go to a different store… but the hospital??? (Ps, I always wore my mask anywhere I was asked to. That is not a hardship and does not violate my rights.)

Think it over. How would you measure it? "With the distance to the Moon known, the stage was set for another Greek astronomer, Aristarchus, to take the first stab at determining the Earth's distance from the Sun. Aristarchus realized that when the Moon was exactly half illuminated, it formed a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun. Knowing the distance between the Earth and the Moon, all he needed was the angle between the Moon and Sun at this moment to compute the distance of the Sun itself. It was brilliant reasoning"

The Sun does shrink and expand in angular size. Not much, but enough to be noticeable. Going back to Copernicus, Copernicus failed to notice that the angular size of the Sun shrank and expanded, even though he had the tools to measure the change. If he had noticed the change in angular size then his model of the solar system would have been more accurate.

Yes. People seem to forget the two aren't mutually exclusive. Yes, religion has been used by bad people to do terrible things in the name of God but that's not all of what it is. People being rude to others purely for what they believe, whether they are religious or non-believers is disgusting and inhumane. I believe there's a God because science has not yet explained how you get something from nothing. I am not going to bash others for not believing and would hope that other's actions reflect their belief that views and values shouldn't be forced on others, and that people's beliefs and actions shouldn't be shamed for being different from your own.
