Learn what science is.
You're way too worked up over this topic. Name calling that other guy and "I've done way more math than you."... Bro you need to get off the uppers. Look in a mirror.
Homie, I was civil up to the moment he started acting like an ass, far past that. I didn't call anyone anything until he did. Dude needs to reexamine himself, you can join him.
Naw bro you sarcastically called him omniscient first. Have a good day.
Yes, because he resolutely claimed absolute certainty, making sweeping, unsubstantiated statements that were just demonstrably false. That's just fundamentally unscientific. My comment was more of a rhetoric device than name-calling.
I don't give half a shit about astrology, what I am passionate about is flippant, unsubstantiated certainty pretending to be scientific thought. It's, as I've said, a brain rot that undercuts the very principles of science. It makes people arrogant, needlessly shuts down thought, and just generally makes a farce of the scientific method. It's not science, it's science fundamentalism, science apologism. It's a poison worth fighting.
