like you go to the not-believing-until-seeing convention with lies and what? expect to get away with it?

    I agree, that phrase seems to be a little misleading with the “trust in God” crowd because to them, that is the ultimate answer, and no other answer would come close to being “right”. But “trust the science” is not meant to be the ultimate answer, just a sign pointing you in the right direction, so that you can then check the science to see if it’s reliable. So, the science that you’re trusting is not theirs, but yours.

      “We did our research!” (flat earthing intensifies)

      you can then check the science

      Me and what degree? Science is so far beyond what I can understand that I would need to spend years of my life studying a single topic to understand a small sliver of science.

      I, and generalizing to we, need to take science on faith as much as anyone in a church. Actually, it’s more on faith than in a church because anyone can pray and see what that results in.
