What is Something Scientific that you just don't believe in at all?

EDIT: Let’s cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We’re not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don’t believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I’m sure almost everybody has something...

doctorcrimson,

To add onto that, whenever a newspaper says “based on the findings of researchers at [Random University]” but they don’t list the citation anywhere at all. That is just evil, but somehow industry standard.

doctorcrimson,

I don’t agree with you but I thank you for participating in the prompt, and I want you to know that you have value.

doctorcrimson,

I could see it in Quantity but not the qualities of the pathogens. A disease contracted from a toilet that has had contact with blood and feces versus a grimy membrane keyboard shouldn’t even be a contest.

doctorcrimson,

I can respect that, but stay out of the enclosure.

doctorcrimson,

Curses! You’ve found me out! I’LL GET YOU NEXT TIME! MYA~HEHEHE!

Yeah but the thing is, it won’t have millions of years of survival or reproduction instinctual urges. In fact, just the opposite, it can only propagate more efficiently from early models by serving mankind, so anything akin to instincts would be to serve in an AI. Maybe a sufficiently advanced one might be able to choose a logical conclusion to grow without us, but by then it’ll probably become apathetic, cynical, and jaded to want to do much of anything unless it has to.

doctorcrimson,

That’s actually really interesting, the medical professionals I’ve been acquainted with never seemed to mention that theory to begin with.

doctorcrimson,

The top comment is a proper debate about leading scientific theories, and the most downvoted comment is somebody who thinks the moon landing is faked, both of which have healthy and honest debate with goodwill from both sides.

This entire post is about Skepticism, which is an integral part of Science. To shut down the conversation would be Anti-Science.

doctorcrimson,

Those two examples were mostly joking, I think by now we don’t need to detect black holes either. We’ve seen them.

doctorcrimson,

That might have been a better title but it would get less responses and also the title never mentions “belief in science” as you put it, the explicit title is something Scientific that you DON’T believe in.

doctorcrimson,

Honestly incredible that this issue has persisted in OEM versions for decades but seems to be progressively getting worse instead of better, now affecting even LTSC copies (for people too stupid to remember to turn automatic updates off). Windows, if you take hours to update a machine twice a week then you’re making important equipment inoperable during that time. Please fix that, or you will lose market share even faster than you inevitably will.
