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
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.
Theist cope is so cringe. Existence is meaningless. Deal it with it. Inventing magical sky wizard stories is a thing children would do.
Oh shit, he said sky wizard. Discussion over.
I'm an atheist, and even I think you're a faggot.

Fancying yourself as mature for this philosophically illiterate edgy nerd take is a thing teenagers would do.
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.
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.
