So fauci and all others should check with you before claiming science? Good luck with that
Nope, all the scientists already know what science is. By definition, you cannot be a scientist without knowing that.
The scientific method is still the only systematic way to investigate phenomena in the Universe and determine the most likely explanation. New or additional observations and experiments can refine our understanding and test the probability that our conclusions are accurate.
Not once in all of history has science concluded anything supernatural.

One important characteristic of a theory is that is has survived repeated attempts to falsify it. Contrary to your understanding, all available evidence confirms it. --Subbie

If evolution is shown to be false, it will be at the hands of things that are true, not made up. --percy

The reason that we have the scientific method is because common sense isn't reliable. -- Taq

Re: belief in the method
So when no one knows or can test or prove something that is supernatural. Only you reserve the right to call the supernatural science?

Re: belief in the method
Yet the guy said anyone against him is anti science basically. You are another guy, with something else to say. Do not both Fauci and Malone use the scientific method? So who is to say where it actually applies?

Re: belief in the method
Though I rather doubt that your troll nature will allow you to.
It would be cool if he was a supernatural troll, though. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Re: belief in the method
Does natural knowledge deal with that time before the laws of physics supposedly applied? If not, would it not be supernatural according to your statements here?

No, it is the conclusion based on all the evidence. Only the Christian Cult of Ignorance willfully denies that reality.

Re: belief in the method
Except you made that up. Others might base their belief on evidences that they accepted rather than what you believed was some sort of exclusive little evidence trove.

Re: belief in the method
I realise that a serious response is wasted on you.
quote:
CNN? Ha Twitter? Facebook? Infowars?
Infowars is about as bad as Worldnet Daily. Maybe worse. CNN is much better, although that’s damning with faint praise. Twitter and Facebook are full of user-generated content so it would depend on who generated the content. There are actual scientists on Twitter, certainly.

Re: belief in the method
No, I did not make anything up.
The Christian Cult of Ignorance is incapable of even comprehending what is evidence.

Re: belief in the method
You thought you got to declare what was good or bad, true or false??! Try to debate seriously.
