https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect
"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive incapacity, on the part of those with low ability, to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their competence accurately."

:^That's why people who could barely pass a high school science class think they can watch a few Youtube videos and become more knowledgeable than actual scientific experts.
Run, not ran. Perhaps your grammar skills wouldn't be so weak if you had put more faith in our education system.
Haha!
Utter nonsense. The Greeks circa 300 BC proved the Earth was a sphere.
This contention is a modern exercise in dishonesty and/or flamboyant ignorance. It's sprung with the sole purpose to discredit certain scientific theories that individuals find unpalatable, be it due to political affiliation or religion.
I can make a guess.
Macroevolution has never happened since one kind of a animal has never given birth to another kind.
At one time there was a broad consensus that the earth was flat. Many many people believed it. Including educated.
What about homosexuals having a disorder? I realize that one keeps being ignored. Was science right then or now? Or is it the famous "settled science resettled" nonsense that people spout when the facts change? Which is my entire point.
The point of the conversation you jumped into was an insinuation that the department of education / science communities don't put out unprovable and some unlikely realities as fact. The gentleman i was referring to seems to think you just walk lock step with the "consensus" in time. Lots of people have been burned by believing that way.

Well that's it. I've played devils advocate long enough here. Topics sure to rowl up spontaneous consciousness believers and Catholics, Jews, gays, atheist, baptist, and probably aliens.
Probably settled what Gods made of, probably still don't know who he is.

You are a terrible poster.
That much is settled.

Agreed. And the devil would probably prefer that you stop advocating for him since you are an absolute dunce.
:boom:
There's basically a 100,000% chance I'm going to yell "You dumbass Dunning-Kruger Effect motherf***er!" at someone in the near future. And it will be well deserved.
That's honestly the best insult I've ever seen. "You're such a f***wit, you don't even know that you are objectively a f***wit, you dumb motherf****er! Just google Dunning-Kruger! I dare you!"
Love it.
You'll have plenty of potential targets. Because, unfortunately, the internet age has spawned a worldwide epidemic of Dunning-Kruger effect dumbasses like never before in history. People now read a few junk science or conspiracy freak websites, perhaps view some youtube videos, and then delude themselves into thinking they know more than real scientists and historians.
And, as someone else noted, it's usually people that could barely pass their high school science classes. But they've got ready made excuses to explain that--"by god, my grades weren't my fault, instead it was just that public education propaganda conspiring against me...."

My brother, who has been accepted to Yale graduate school and is about as intellectually brilliant as it gets, once tried to explain some masonic conspiracy theory involving Jay-Z and iconography on drivers licenses to me that he learned off youtube.
He was high a lot then, so I want to blame that, but that was a very bad day.
Yep.
Between the conspiracy kooks, the religious nuts, the people who can't see anything without a liberal or conservative lens, and high school graduates who for some reason think they're on the same level as post-graduate level experts made me realize long ago the internet has played a role in how ridiculously stupid the American public has become as a whole.
Some of us will believe damn near anything we're told, true or not.
Just went to their website. It says the edges of earth are big ice walls that hold the oceans in. That's why no one has even been past Antarctica. North pole is actually the center of the flat earth.
It's all bullxxxx, but it was on their sight. I hope the site is a guy sitting in his mom's basement.
You can't even get past step four of the scientific method when it comes to proving a god exists. Therefore, if the basis of your religion is untestable by the scientific method, your religion has no place in a scientific discussion.
