Really?
Science is better than the alternative because it delivers higher quality models. But that’s just my opinion.
Alternatives to science are tradition, consensus, authority, personal experience. But there might be others.
There you go Einstein.

when you ask: “Why is science better than the alternative? (And what is that alternative, exactly?)” people will treat you like the child you really seem to be

No they are not. It’s been explained to you plenty, you’re just intentionally being obtuse.
froghorse@lemm.ee 2 years ago
And yet you offer no actual argument. Hmmm.
BURN@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Except we did. You just ignored everything that doesn’t fit the pinhole of your worldview.
Science does not have alternatives. Science describes the natural order of the world in quantifiable, repeatable ways.
Religion, tradition, consensus and all your other bullshit all rely on human information, which are not reliable sources of truth. The only way to prove something is to observe, document and then have others verify, which is also known as the scientific process.

so, if you are such a big brain, why would you ask a question you already know the answer to? Oh, because your smooth brain thinks this is reddit and you think you are a good troll. sadly, you are just a pathetic excuse of a troll. learn more before you attempt again, then you wont look stupid to the whole world, and its now forever, so you can look back on this in a few years and cringe like all of us are at this moment. good luck wannabe troll

Because I want alternative takes on the subject. Because I want to discuss it. Because the subject interests me. That’s what big brains do.

I feel like they’re just out to prove the name of this community wrong. They’re doing a great job!
