This is the best summary I could come up with:
Candace Owens has described science as a "pagan faith," after saying she had been reading literature supporting the theory that Earth is flat, rather than spherical.
Owens made the statement on Monday's episode of Candace, the podcast she launched last month following her exit from the Daily Wire in March.
Explaining her stance, Owens, who recently announced that she had converted to Catholicism, took aim at, among other things, COVID-19 vaccines and safety measures that were implemented at the height of the pandemic.
Owens proceeded to play a clip of controversial influencer Andrew Tate, in which he expressed his own distrust of scientific data during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Owens said that she was open to reading literature on flat-Earth theory not because she believed in a flat Earth, but because she disbelieved "the notion that science is ever settled."
"It just keeps turning out that if you follow the Bible and believe in biblical scripture, your life gets better and better and better," added Owens, who recently said a "Christian holocaust" was taking place around the world.
The original article contains 883 words, the summary contains 177 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
The whole point of science is that it's never settled, and that there's always something new to learn.
