I'm too tired to be mad about this or the changes that will happen to remind people of how important science is...

But I can always see in my minds eye, some future leader saying. "There's no way we could have known."

And that keeps me at a simmer.

Which ones were eradicated & which ones were decimated? Getting rid of 10% of a disease doesn't sound super effective.

As per science, prayer (or anything "metaphysical" can't be measured, as it has no physics or physical evidence)....

....so effects of prayer can't be measured/known. I guess that means it's theoretical, unprovable.

Didn't prayer actually eradicate that dancing disease or whatever?

Prayer and the CIA, however, are gtrwat at spreading them and undermining these efforts.

Idiots need prayer because they can't comprehend science, simple as that.

Some of the most prominent scientists were and still are religious

EVERYONE can comprehend "science"

its not CTHULU

Science is too BROAD to be referred to like this

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 3 days ago

Well that's a fundamental misunderstanding of science if I've ever seen one.
