(587 posts)Either people believe in the scientific method or they don't.
The great thing about the SM is that it is designed to prove itself (and it's conclusions) wrong. There is no belief or mantra involved. In fact, there are millions of scientists clamoring to make a name for themselves by proving things wrong. It's one of the best ways to succeed in science.
So, saying "I am a person of science, but I don't believe in X", where X is what science tells us is true, means you are - by definition- anti science.
There is no belief involved in evolution. Or GMO's. Or climate change. Or medicine.
Science and belief are like oil and water. They don't mix - at all. You either understand science or you go with 'belief' instead. You can't have it both ways.
