At the council of Nicea the church called together several different scientists from around Europe. These scientists took a vote (Democracy is the best way to establish truth) and they decided that the Trinity was the absolute truth and that to say that Jesus and God were completely seperate was nonsense.
This has been scientifically proven, but why do some people reject this valid scientific theory?

is this a joke?

Your logic is falwed. Firstly, democracy is never the best way to establish truth. If thieves and robbers are sitting in a jury deciding on the verdict of a robber and they all say "not guilty" then as per your democratic principles this should be the truth. But in this case it would not be the truth.
Also, science evolves and matures with time. What was "true" centuries ago is not true any more due to recent scientific findings.

First of all the Nicean Covenant was a joke and the ruin of the Christian church. It was the official time when the agenda of man overthrew God in a spiritual hostile takeover.
So I guess it would be natural for the brotherhood of lies to commit more apostasies by using scientists, although if this actually happened (I have never heard of this), then nearly 900 years ago I'm sure their scientists were more like mystics than real scientists of today.
Take it with a grain of salt.

That means, things that have been scientifically proven at that time are:
1) Earth is flat
2) Sun, moon and stars revolve around the Earth
3) Trinity is absolute truth
Therefore, there is a similarity around these 3 theories which is...?

Democracy is the best way to determine a consensus opinion. That's not always the same as the truth.
The second council of Nicea was over 1200 years ago. Is that what you're referring to. If it is then it has nothing to do with science.

Your logic is falwed. first and foremost, democracy is in no way the main suitable thank you to ascertain certainty. If thieves and robbers are sitting in a jury figuring out on the call of a robber and that all of them say "no longer in charge" then as according to your democratic concepts this can be the certainty. yet for that reason it would not be the certainty. additionally, technological expertise evolves and matures with time. What grow to be "genuine" centuries in the past isn't genuine to any extent further by using modern scientific findings.

LOL
Like people saying the Gnostics were Heretic and their scriptures not inspired by God. What if the authority people chose to believe was wrong. Who even knows when, where, who made this happen. Perhaps everyone has been reading the wrong Bible? That may be why the road to destruction is wide and the road to salvation narrow. For he caused a great delusion to come upon them that they might believe the lie.
Blessed Be!

The were not scientists. They were Christian bishops.
They were also coerced and bribed by the Roman Emperor Constantine before and after the vote.
Bishops who agreed with Constantine received tax exemptions. Bishops who disagreed with him were kicked out of the church and deemed heretics.
Under those circumstances, of course they went along with Constantine's wishes and declared that the Trinity was the absolute truth.
That doesn't prove that it really is.

the better question is how they proved that scientifically? where is the evidence or report on this? voting on something is hardly proof even on a non-scientific standpoint. also theory is not proof. i mean 1,000 years from now maybe they will vote it otherwise. it wasn't long ago when everyone knew that the earth was flat.

Because science, unlike religion, is constantly open to questioning and progression. It's like a sort of evolution for knowledge. Proof, not mumbo-jumbo, determines the path of science.

Jesus was the answer to number 5 on the science test but don't tell anyone.
