This leads to LOTS of fucking stupid people online thinking they're hyper-intelligent just because they say "nah I don't believe that".

Neil deGrass Tyson is a lying piece of shit who sold his soul for big corporate money and fame. He's part of what's wrong with the world.
SuperDankNugs
Science is not always accurate.
droppointalpha
Especially university studies so poorly constructed by grad students, it laughable that in another year, they'll have a "masters" degree.

In #31 neither half is correct- science begins with the observation of a phenomena, not getting an idea.

I realized that fact about Scooby Doo, when I was a young child, and have kept it in my head for 30 years.
warick
There's real vampires and mummies and shit in the new ones. They're pretty good too.
UsuallySpecial
Unfortunately it's only true for the oldest series. The abomination of Scrappy Doo also brought "real" supernatural elements. Suuuuucks.
beeratius
In that movie or was it in the series at some point? I can't remember.. although there was TIME SLIME, did that happen or did I dream it?
Vydrach
The first movie, Zombie Island, did as well. But the movie was pretty alright.

Regarding #25, Bill Nye suggested that we label them "proudly contains GMO"

MOAR! We want more!!! <3 all of this. I assume you've seen SMBC's comics on religion, they are hilarious & are similar to several you posted

I cannot abide by an "in science we trust" logo that misuses a sigma as an e.

Agreed.

Well if they'd used epsilon (E) it would have looked boring as hell (although I guess they could have used a lower case one, but it's far1/2

less known), moreover none of the other symbols a representative of a sound, it's just a visual thing and I think it works. I do 1/3

understand how it could have annoyed you though (I also apologise for my numbering of these comments, what a train wreck).

If biogenesis were possible, we would be able to replicate it in a lab. WE CAN'T. There's some science for you smug little bastards.

I scrolled down looking for the same answer. What is up with that?

A giant post violently decrying "faith" while simultaneously containing a quote about the implications of a violent defense of beliefs.
Snarktopus
I think you may be imposing your own assumptions on any "violence" in this post (except perhaps to antivaxx)
highways2zion
I feel like a good read-through of this would blow OP's mind: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientism
Galactasaur
If not for science how do you come to know things are false?
highways2zion
Logic. Even the Greeks recognized that logic can prove some things that empirical evidence can't.
Galactasaur
Tell that to Aristotle who thought heavier things fell quicker. It took Galileo to do a test to prove it wrong.
highways2zion
Well for example, even if you have the opinion that there is no afterlife, that is not a scientific opinion. 1/2
highways2zion
Science can't disapprove what it can't test. With logic, you can think about about things that are potentially true and yet unobserved. 2/2

Oh hey, another anti-religion fanatic.

There was like 3 total.

Pro-science things do tend to seem anti-religion
Vekete
You can be pro-science and pro-religion and pro-science without being a dick, and pro-religion without being a dick, people tend to not know
Snarktopus
I'm not anti religion.

Why can't we simply enjoy being here while we're here? Beliefs change nothing.

kiruwa
There's a lot of pretentious bullshit mixed in with banal "we're science people, guyz!" in this list. This is political bull, mostly.
Galactasaur
What in particular is political?
Camelspotting
The 'you're wrong and I'm right 'mentality.
Galactasaur
Sometimes people are objectively wrong or right so what in particular is in this post is political?
kiruwa
Political broadly speaking. Lots of "make fun of these people, they're the outsiders, we're sciencey!". The 3rd image is deeply ironic.
MisterManatee
There was a good article (National Journal maybe?) lamenting how people these days look for evidence only to reinforce their opinions

I have a feeling @OP Woke up rather salty today...

Why is that, friend?

I'm here procrastinating on writing an essay about the conflict between religion and science, this isn't helping.

To be fair, the moral religious etc arguments against stem cell research was more prevalent when they were using aborted fetal tissue.
themostawesomejohnever
Except it's not aborted fetal tissue but what is left over from invitro (sp?) that is now thrown away.
MikaRRR
Aren't they still?
Fyrjefe
Yeah. Adult stem cells have become more prevalent because of how much you can get, and how manipulatable they are in tests.
TheBurritoConfederacy
I read that as "Adult Swim cells" and was very confused.
MikaRRR
Oh interesting, for some reason I thought embryonic stem cells were more easy to manipulate... I also know very little about this
QueenCousland
I also know very little, but I think we used to only be able to get them from fetuses, then we scienced into getting them from adults.
themostawesomejohnever
They could always be used from either adults or embryos but the embryos offer more advances.

Fun fact, dogs aren't wolf decendents, wolves and dogs share a common ancestor that they evolved from together. Same with wolves and Wales.

Solid science in movies is like solid acting or solid special effects - it's nearly invisible. Bad of any of them takes you out of it.
ZyklonBDemille
I'm willing to suspend belief to a certain point. I draw the line when I feel I'm being played for an idiot.
Painteagle
I was watching Galaxy quest with a fellow engineer and when someone said something sciency, we stopped and were like, that might really work
GregorCorgane
For instance, explosions going "BOOOOOM" in space... I literally walk out of the theater on those shit fests.
DammitIHadSomethingForThis
It so weird what will pull you out though. Some movies can use bad science, and you don't care. Others make one error, and it's all over
ghsdkgb
Also some movies will spit out BS after BS and it's only a certain line of it that'll take you out
MaladaptedMedic
suspension of disbelief... If it's established that science works differently in the movie, it's fine
beeratius
Man it's even worse if you're a CS/IT person, and occasionally maths
ikbenlike
If you're into computers, don't watch CSI. Or movies with computers. Cringeworthy af
beeratius
Especially not Numb3rs, oh god, I thought they were joking with the weird youtube videos
ikbenlike
Never heard of that movie. Now I think of it that's probably a good thing

There's an awful lot of opinions here.

What is opinion here?

You scare me just a little bit.

Am I missing a joke? Why is this getting upvoted?

Any of them in particular?
TheBeatlesSuck
The Stem cell one doesn't indicate embryonic, which are the ones most had moral/ religious arguments against, or any of the other kinds.
RadiumNation
I'd say the Scooby one for sure.
Galactasaur
What's wrong with that one?
playingguitarwontgetyoulaid
You put mega church-pastors, Michele Bachman, MLK Jr and The Pope in the same boat. Not cool IMO.
Galactasaur
On the scooby doo one?
ghost650
Hyperbolic perhaps but I think it's safe to say that this was at least one lesson to take away.

Anyone else miss Scooby Snacks?
Camelspotting
Saying science is true is the same thing as faith. It's entirely possible we have most of it wrong.
covertpetersen
Please tell me this is a joke.
Camelspotting
You can make the assumption that I know something of what I'm talking about, then reconsider.
covertpetersen
All science is based on fact based research. What you just said amounts to "2+2=4 takes as much faith in believing there's a God".
EncoreVous
You forgot to add "Just asking questions!" man..

1/? I agree that it's poorly worded. But "science" isn't true or false, it's a method. The truths we discover with it are based on evidence,
geekontwowheels
2/? which makes them true regardless of one's beliefs. This is meant to be in contrast with something like a god whose existence is not
geekontwowheels
3/? supported by evidence, hence his/her "existence" depends on people believing in him/her. In fact, it's not uncommon for religions to
