How DARE YOU question science!?!?!?

Question

Excuse me but take a look around, cave man. The electricity that powers every single device in your life. The refrigerator that keeps your food fresh. The genetic tests to ensure you it is the best food. The car you drive. The computer you are typing on. The freaking man who walked…. ON THE MOON!!! Now, sure, science does make mistakes but isn’t a little ignorant to belittle science? You do know that if it weren’t for science you’d be living in a cave right now bashing your dinner with a club right?

Answer 1

When you live your life as a scientist, asking questions is an automatic response to environment. Science demands the humility of forever questioning the limits of what we already know vs the current discoveries, ie how does it apply to this old theory?
Many older scientific facts have been debunked , modified, improved, redefined, tossed out alltogether, you get the picture.
Life and science are dynamic. If you wish to be known as a person of science, be observant, do not assume that the facts you know as truths today will remain so forever. Develop the mindset that things can be improved, be made better.

Answer 2

Science is there to be questioned, all the best scientists do it. In the sixties every one believed the 'steady state theory' of the universe. That is that it had always existed and always would. Then readings from space made people question this. Some holders of the steady state theory reacted just like you said, but the scientists with the new idea continues to question and debate. Now every one believes in the big bang. A biologist believed that stomach ulcers were caused by a virus. All the other scientists laughed at him, after all, every knew the stomach was far too acid to have viruses in it. He persevered, eventually swallowing the virus himself, and getting an ulcer to prove his hypothesis. This only happened ten years ago.
I am not anti-science, but I am pro-sensible thinking. If something can't be challenged then it has no worth.

Answer 3

Hello:

I agree that pretty much anything that man has created has come about because of the scientific method applied in any number of ways.

However do you remember a few thousand years ago that the Earth was the center of the universe?

Reason is not afraid of questions and science itself requires recapitulation. Remember when computers that were about as powerful as a scientific calculator filled up rooms? Well questioning the limits of science gave you the home computer.

I like questions.

I hope this helps

Answer 4

Science is all about asking questions and not only that, a good scientist will intentionally expose his findings to questions. You don't sound like a scientist to me.

Oh, and by the way, even the best scientists make mistakes sometimes.

Answer 5

Unlike Shakespeare, scientists can't even tell us what light is; or gravity or even matter. What we see are mostly intangible electrons. They tell us that 96% of the universe consists of invisible dark energy and matter.

We make the mistake of believing what we see is real.

Science, in my opinion, is mythology.

Answer 6

What is science (research)?

A word used by the government or FDA when they want to start or stop a product.
