We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something to add.

    Don’t worry, I do. The problem here is that there are two different definitions of truth. Scientific Truth/Fact is what we are left with after we rule out what is not true.

    Science doesn’t make declarative statements about what is true in any ultimate sense. But when we talk about truth in science, we’re referring to the scientific consensus.

    When we use the scientific method, we deduce facts about reality, then use those facts to infer “truth”. Of course, science is often wrong, and we discover when truth is wrong in the second half of the process.
