Doing your own research also means being open to the possibility that your hypothesis is incorrect.

    I didn’t say “trust science.” That is a nonsensical term. Please do not put words in my mouth.

    Also, being 100% sure of something is absolutely not scientific. I think the real issue here is that you don’t understand basic concepts like the scientific method.

    Also, it is super dishonest to call Fracastoro’s 15th century seed idea “germ theory.”

      You’re just being dismissive and arrogant, like I’m saying. Academia is nothing more than a gatekeeping cult. You’re under the childish assumption that there is “good” and “bad” when those terms are subjective.
