Saw this on a science forum. Half the responses yelled the meme was wrong and didn't understand science

All science can be questioned. That's literally the point of the scientific method.
Not just can, it is meant to be questioned, and then demonstrated to the point where it cannot be denied.
"The Science" does not do this.
By this virtue we can see what "the science" is obfuscating by seeing what discussions they are not willing to entertain.
And even then we never truly know most things 100%. That is like the one quote where someone said at the bottom of the glass of science, God is waiting.
Take any topic, even the basics, and eventually you’ll reach a point where something cannot be explained. You could demonstrate millions of troon surgeries that didn’t end with them wanting to off themselves and it’s not even close to proven
Theist cope is so cringe. Existence is meaningless. Deal it with it. Inventing magical sky wizard stories is a thing children would do.
Theists party like it's 350 CE
Oh shit, he said sky wizard. Discussion over.
I'm an atheist, and even I think you're a faggot.

Oy vey!
Unfortunately for your coping mechanism, I am not a jew.
You should also make it clear whether you are a goyim or not. That will get you twice as many Jewish downvotes.
Fancying yourself as mature for this philosophically illiterate edgy nerd take is a thing teenagers would do.
You should wonder how a teenager has a better grasp of reality than you.
You were handed "The God of The Gaps" reasoning and you just ran with this.
Let me explain this to you, as an anti-Theist.
Existence has the meaning you give it. If you choose to live a meaningless existence, don't waste our time with you.
Lol cope and seethe. Your 'logic' is circular and therefore invalid.
Yeah, you just sound like a rightist troll that doesn't understand logical validity and is just throwing out buzzwords.
If you are the one giving the existance meaning, the existancd has no meaning. The self centered idea that you yourself gets to define it all in your own terms that you are capable of comprehending is narcissistic. Removing yourself and your own definition from the equation doesn't stop existance. Just your personal version.
You're conflating several different things. Removing yourself doesn't stop "existence" as a concept, but nothing would. It would stop your existence, but that's not what you said. "Existence" as an abstract concept, doesn't have meaning because you're applying a metaphysical concept to basic material truth.
It's as silly as asking if there is a purpose for this rock. But that's not what anyone's talking about, and that rock doesn't have agency.
We are talking about your existence, a person with agency and competence.
There is nothing narcissistic about deciding your own purpose in life. In fact, it's the act of a mature adult who's taking responsibility for his own life.
Actually, my favorite quote is from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri:
The worst part of that quote is saying " I don't know, therefore god" as if that is a proof.
Beyond that: All science is, is questioning.
You CANNOT "prove" anything in science. All you can do is reject the null hypothesis.
"Thus we cannot say for certain that X, in fact, does absolutely nothing" is the strongest golden standard of result in science. It is hedged bets upon hedged bets. It's the theory of gravity, because who knows, it might be wrong! Maybe it doesn't work like we think it does! (And then when we get down to sub-particle physics... it doesn't! So we were right to keep it as just a generally useful theory rather than 100% accepted law.)
Fuck, we'd still be balancing bad humors if it didn't FINALLY get axed for something actually effective. Chist, just thinking about how long that was the standard actually makes me mad. It's such quackery.
How little pressure did it take to convert online forums from dissenters questioning authority into bootlickers parroting big pharma slogans?
Reddit was a huge mistake.
Around the time people just forgot about occupying Wall Street and decided to parade with corporate logos because they defend faggots for a month
A lot of bots.
It took a lot of pressure though.
Yep. It took tons of pressure, bots, buying or infiltrating mod accounts.
And it managed to kill off the site to 1/10th of it's authentic comments as most people realized it was all fake and gay, defeating the whole purpose of infiltration.

No they absolutely understand "science". Because "science" is not science the intellectual discipline or process of understanding.
"Science" is their subject of worship, in this case godless atheism.
For clarity I refer to that say "Soyence"
The machine must be praised. The machine must be fed.
That sounds like the Adeptus Mechanicus
The machine spirits have received insufficient hymns of unconditional praise.
The machine spirits just buttered the primarch's toast with poorly contained bioweapons and it is your fault, servitor, for not intoning "Trust the Omnissiance" loud enough.
Electrolashings will now commence.
We must clear our browsers and pray for enlightenment of this 404.
All mechanical work requires the shedding of blood to be complete.
For... the Emprah...?
Must have been a good day if it was only half.
Yeah - this started happening during the latter Obama years around the same time Global Warming got rebranded as Climate Change.
Suddenly “a consensus of scientists” meant something was true and inarguable and thus was coming on tech forums where just weeks previously truth was what could be PROVEN.
Like with Covid it was amazing to see so-called intellectuals suddenly spew meaningless rhetoric and claim it was science.
Consensus isn’t science.
Galileo didn't pass peer review.
peer review is also fake and gay
That's the point I was making.
It was a "the science" forum. The leaders of "our democracy" do not allow questioning of "the science" you bigoted racist.
Or possibly religion

Double negatives suck.
Gonna scratch that 'tism itch and say the meme isn't really a double negative, it's two separate negatives with a conditional between them.
Double negative is something like "It isn't not dark outside"
This post is more like "if it's not dark, it's not night"
