Science is based upon certain assumptions about objective reality, but yet those who believe in science have yet to prove or provide any evidence that those set of assumptions are true. Why? Because they can't. Until those who believe in science can prove those assumptions are true we must assume said assumption are unprovable and therefore science is bullshit.

This is completely correct. However, we do have evidence, and through times they have been proven to be true. Pretty much every scientific theory has been proven to be true through being tested throughout many years. Everything science has been assumed, say that if I drop an iPhone 20ft from the ground it will break. The the assumption will be tested, so someone would drop an iPhone from 20ft off the ground, then the results of said tests will show weather the assumption was true, so if the iPhone did smash - it would be a correct assumption, if it did not smash - the assumption would be considered incorrect. And the evidence would be the film of someone doing it or witnesses writing down what happened. So even though - yes science is a bunch of assumptions, we will and do have evidence to prove so.

Yeah, you're in over your head here, kid. You don't understand what science does. No scientist is going to say that there is absolute proof like you're describing. Science doesn't involve itself in proof, because proof is impossible.

Here's how it works: A scientist runs an experiment and collects data. Then they interpret that data into a conclusion. That conclusion states that the evidence from said experiment would lead one to conclude something.

That's it.

Then other people can come behind them and run the same experiment and make either the same, or a different conclusion. If they run the same experiment and get a different result, then they know that this is something is up and requires further investigation.

Here's your challenge: give me an example of an experiment that's based off of bullshit assumptions about reality.

Jesus challenged their presumption and their
power in His day and He seriously interfered with
their graft when He drove the money changers- out
of the temple in Jerusalem. That act summed up
His entire career He was an indignant, earnest
reformer. The Sanhedrin had reached the lowest
depth of corruption. The murder of Jesus ended
its criminal reign for a time. The Jews as a
mass did not understand what was happening;
they had been misled by the Sanhedrin and the
rabbis. The Sanhedrin consisted of seventy men

who ruled civil affairs. They had previously ruled
criminal affairs which power was taken from them
by the Roman government. There was also an-
other Sanhedrin consisting of twenty men, who
ruled religious affairs.- Jesus fought both of them.
Why did the Sanhedrin frame Jesus? Because
he advocated the law of God and Moses, the law
of limitation, which Moses wrote in the old testa-
ment (Leviticus chapter 25). Jesus wanted excessive
private fortunes limited by law in order to save
civilization from collapse.

It could be true, it could not be true. It would just be considered to be true until someone proved it wrong by dropping 110 more phones and say 1 did not break therefore it would then not be true, it would become a probability. If you drop a phone from 20ft there is a 1/200 chance of it breaking. Proving the first assumption/theory to be wrong

science is a method to learn about the nature of reality, but the fact we will never connect to reality means at best we will only slightly reduce our ignorance. The only way to argue against the METHOD OF SCIENCE is to prove another method is better by predicting all the phenomena science predicts in a better way.
If we cannot ever truly connect to reality (brain in a vat, shadows in the cave), the best we can hope is to reach out from the dark and compare our results.
Thus, the burden is on you to show that some other METHOD does a better job.

Maybe I'm just playing into the bait, but what the heck.

>Science is based upon certain assumptions about objective reality

Yeah, we call these assumptions "hypotheses" At that stage they are assumptions. But that's only the first step.

>those who believe in science have yet to prove or provide any evidence that those set of assumptions are true

And here we have the next steps following the hypothesis. This is called the scientific method. You're on the internet so I trust you can google that. But by utilizing this method, those of us who believe in science can determine whether a hypothesis is true or not. We then document our findings. That, sir, is what we call science.

no it's not. did you fail science class in elementary school?
a theory is a PROVISIONAL explanation based on empirical data that fits the data parsimoniously.
.
those big words aren't just fancy, they cover the nuances of the term, but if you're too stupid to look them up, it roughly means the theory is the STORY WE TELL TO TRY TRY to explain something, and to avoid telling crazy stories, we try to tell the story with the fewest assumptions.

>>
>>733647576
the hypothesis is the question which the experiment answers, the experiment's results are the evidence for the hypothesis which we can conclude evidence from. The things which are assumed to be true are based on the recorded results of prior experiments. If everyone was somehow misconstruing the world around them (which is entirely possible as we're only seeing the universe from the human perspective,) it wouldn't really matter since the laws we observe in the universe apply to us and our awareness.
>>
>>733646710

There is no assumption because any sensible scientist would run experiments numerous times until the data was consistent.

The theory of relativity is the set of explanations (cited in mathematical language) that attempt to reconcile our observations at near light speeds.

>Otherwise, the theory of evolution would just be a "theory" as you explain it rather than a set of facts.
is is a "theory" but you put so much value on the theory that you fear that its place as an explanation somehow makes it weaker than religious explanations, yet it is not; it is clearly a more parsimonious explanation.

A theory is a set of facts, what you described is a theorem.
no, a set of facts alone can be interpreted. You are mistaking the "map" for the "territory". Much like the fact probability is in the mind (the con doesn't have probability), the facts are our interpretation of what we see, and the theory is our best explanation. that is all it is, but it's damn better than anything else humans have come up with.

irrelevant whose words they are; the argument (that science is not about proving things) remains.

science is the method of acquisition of knowledge. it is based on both deductive and inductive reasoning, but mostly inductive. The fact it is based on inductive reasoning means it is limited by our senses (the map is not the territory) and the fact we do not possess complete knowledge of the universe (black swan).

tldr: the fact we can't be all-knowing and that our senses can deceive us does not allow us to know anything with certainty. the best we can do is agree that things that are regular probably will continue to be regular (sunrises). we build on that and eventually crack quarks.

but we can never prove science, it's not even good form! true experiments are all about DISPROVING our arguments and seeing if the proposal survives.

Those who truly understand the scientific method know that you can't really expect scientific models to be completely true. As a scientist, you always have to assume that a observation can be made or a piece of data can be discovered that contradicts a theory in certain conditions. If that happens, then you either modify the assumptions made or create a new set of assumptions that fit experimental evidence better than before. As the models improve, we will be able to make better predictions about nature and create better technology.

the suffix 'fag' is attached to a noun to describe someone who is DOGMATICALLY tied to their noun.
animefags love anime so much
moralfags think right and wrong are very clear
science fags should be those who dogmatically love the method of science.

But (despite my previous tldr posts) I do not believe in science, I ACCEPT IT AS A TOOL just like a mechanic accepts a 17mm socket as a tool to remove his lugnuts (that plus an air gun). Unlike dogmatists who will not let go of their tool, I'd be happy to toss the tool in the garbage if you can show me a tool that does a better job with less work.

when someone comes up with a better tool, we usually adopt it and usher in a new revolution. I for one would LOVE TO BE AT THE HEAD OF THAT REVOLUTION, SO IF YOU HAVE A BETTER TOOL, PLEASE, SHARE IT WITH US ;)

which is why we can at best agree when we see the same repeats. you and I can't truly know what the color red represents in our brains, but when you see red and I see red and we at least call it red, the common language we use is a tool to communicate,

>being this blind to his own bias.
>implying my insult of a vegan was meant literally

bias is our own personal investment in ideas we believe in. All humans have some, but the most honest are at least willing to admit their beliefs are wrong and demonstrate an ability to hold AMBIGUOUS ("I'm sometimes right, I'm often wrong about this") ideas.
Biased individuals are so enamored with their ideas they are unwilling to consider alternatives (or only consider them when the world explodes on them). Motivated reasoning always distorts our view of reality.

Science works because we have disparate people who have different motivations WORKING TO DIS-PROVE ideas. the fact many come together to destroy ideas, and then those ideas remain, is what makes true science so awesome.

But faggots with a bias can't even understand that. It's like telling a schizophrenic that his delusions are not real: he will never believe you and at best, he might accept it conditionally (through drugs or threats or injury) but in his mind, he will never believe.
and so I know your bias and love of how "right" you are makes you a lost cause...

Under the point about the color red, would be like a color blind person trying to describe red to someone who can see color. BUT in relation to experiments, wouldn't you say the color is a descriptive measurement and not quantitative measurement? Can different people interpret a standard of measurement differently? Is 10 cm different amongst people?

I like the 'brains in vats' idea, but I'd think it'd be something non-anatomical as a cell of some sort....

depends (and that can make for interesting experiments). those who are partially colorblind might still identify red and in their minds see it in some weird way. those who are totally colorblind can probably never see it without help. In some cases I would guess we can learn to see it, but only because of the cues around the color (if we look at red lights). Either way, the 'red' each of us sees is unique to our experience. In some weird way, I could literally see some greenish-bluish and you could see some brownish-purplish and we both only know it's called red when we point to it and share it.

BUT in relation to experiments, wouldn't you say the color is a descriptive measurement and not quantitative measurement? Can different people interpret a standard of measurement differently? Is 10 cm different amongst people?

this proves you're a fucking retard who jumped into the thread without reading about the fact we already resolved science (and anyone in life) cannot prove anything.

if, on the other hand, you wanted to argue (with the caveat that nothing is absolute, but we can accept probability), yes, pesticides can cause harm, but like Galen said: the poison is in the dose.

Biased individuals are so enamored with their ideas they are unwilling to consider alternatives (or only consider them when the world explodes on them). Motivated reasoning always distorts our view of reality.

====
read that again. it means that even if you have a hundred facts, your bias means you are likely to manipulate those facts which do not confirm your bias (do you even know what confirmation bias is?) and exclude them while emphasizing those facts which you like. you are a dishonest reasoner because you have an investment in your own beliefs.


an honest reasoner is willing to entertain all sides, including the possibility he is excluding evidence.

think about that:
it means you probably dug up all the stuff that backs up your claims, and while it might be factual (but I doubt even that, given your intellectual dishonesty), you slant the story.

>being this ignorant of how science lets us learn.
no scientific idea is learned with a single data point. we did not propose the theory of gravity on a single observation, we did it after tons of data. even then, Einstein modified it when he argued for the curvature of spacetime as a function of gravity.

The point is this:
1. some experiments prove your point
2. many experiments are ambiguous
3. a few experiments contradict you

since we have many experiments, an honest person would TAKE ALL DATA, INCLUDING THE STUFF THAT IS AMBIGUOUS AND THE STUFF THAT CONTRADICTS YOU. He then weighs it (using whatever math or statistics he prefers) and arrives at a subjective conclusion (think p-values or bayesian inference) based on
THE WEIGHT OF THE TOTALITY OF THE EVIDENCE THUSFAR.

biased people tho:
1. like this stuff
2. don't like this stuff
3. hide this stuff

what's worse, biased people are worse than liars since liars know what they're bullshitting about, but biased people honestly believe their bias. they hide evidence (ideomotor, confirmation bias) without even knowing they did it.

when someone (like you) has a bias, you would do well to read their data with suspicion, since they're holding out on you, and THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT.

>the empirical evidence would eliminate the bias.

without getting to fancy with words, bias can exist in the machines we use and in our minds.
we eliminate bias in our machines by testing with different devices (e.g., you don't trust your bathroom scale, you use your neighbor's scale or the doctor's scale and run a concurrence analysis on the three).

bias in our minds (like the sharpshooter fallacy or recall bias or the ideomotor response) is how in our minds we manipulate the data to suit our needs. it's mostly unconscious.

we cannot really eliminate bias in our minds, as it's like a mental illness... always a blind spot.
the best we can do is understand we have them, and adopt ways to protect against it.

it's like when you get drunk and don't admit it. are you the kind who simply tells everyone to fuck off, or are you willing to trust a few trustworthy folks who tell you you're drunk and let them drive you home?

if you're the latter, congratulations! you might be a little less biased than the average idoeologue!

you must have jumped into this thread without reading everything before it. the point is that while we agree on a common metric that represents red, the connection between the wavelengths that hit our eyes and the subjective experience that we individually identify as red can never be proven.

I know it's hard to get, and without getting all fancy and philosophical, you won't get it. best I can do is suggest you study the 'theory of mind'... and don't believe me or any other faggot on this board, do the work yourself, just don't be lazy about it.

You left out the first part of that, if the experiment is set up properly and the null hypothesis is tested adequately, THEN the empirical evidence would eliminate the bias.
Part of setting up a valid experiment is to eliminate bias and draw conclusions based on the empirical evidence collected. You assume that everyone that conducts an experiment always finds their hypothesis as being correct, they don't.

Isn't it biased to assume everyone conducts experiments with bias?

The example of the drunk isn't really valid as the person themselves is inserting themselves as a variable and wouldn't pass the scientific method and therefore is really just an apples to oranges comparison.

i agree, to a point:
if data is not relevant, we exclude it
if data is not reliable we analyze it for concurrence and intraclass comparability (fancy words for how reliable it is).

the point is we keep our data based on our best efforts to measure our experiment, and we cannot delete data or exclude studies on any other reasons other than methodological or relevance (if the machine sucks or if we're weighing apples when the experiment is on peaches). biased people are blind to this and whenever ambiguity exists (as is common in experiments, think margin of error), they will favor the side that benefits their belief.

Is it really?, I am wondering about this. I heard this argument before. Can someone explain this to me?

>You left out the first part of that, if the experiment is set up properly and the null hypothesis is tested adequately, THEN the empirical evidence would eliminate the bias.
only when the measurements are accurate enough and the signal (what we call what we're looking for in science) to noise ratio is large enough to offer us a relatively unambiguous result. The problem is that most interesting science is at the very bleeding edge, where ambiguity is nearly at 50% and the decision to take one side or another is even more reliant on eliminating bias.

>Part of setting up a valid experiment is to eliminate bias and draw conclusions based on the empirical evidence collected. You assume that everyone that conducts an experiment always finds their hypothesis as being correct, they don't.

correct. as a matter of fact, if we were honest in science, we'd realize 95% of our experiments are so wrong, they're unusable.

>Isn't it biased to assume everyone conducts experiments with bias?

yes, the old circular argument inherent in existence itself. The problem is to deny bias is to let bias creep into our analysis and do nothing about it. If you can find a nonbiased approach to analyzing bias from the outside, there's a few Nobel prizes in it for you ;)

>The example of the drunk isn't really valid as the person themselves is inserting themselves as a variable and wouldn't pass the scientific method and therefore is really just an apples to oranges...
it wasn't meant to be an experiment. it was meant to show that when most folks are drunk, they are a lot like the biased person (without getting fancy and recognizing some folks might KNOW when they're drunk). If we assume the drunk is relatively unaware of his condition for the sake of argument, then we know many such folks will never really feel drunk even when told they are drunk by folks who have a stronger grasp on reality.
this drunk can either (1)accept it intellectually,
(2) or reject it, what most do.

here's this:

>>733660746
science is based on hypothesis testing
we can't really ever say what causes anything but we can say what trends there are
for example, if i dropped a ball 100 times and it fell to the ground every time I can say with confidence that there's a relationship between dropping the ball and it falling to the ground but I still don't know what causes this based on that information
If I want to know what causes the trend I need to collect more information and establish more trends and that's how science progresses

No I'm saying it's not BASED on assumptions but every study has to make assumptions that are often different from one another.
I'm not well versed in the philosophy of science TBH. You should read some Karl Popper.

HAHAHHA "why this published paper you're reading is false"

Most published studies are not "false" That's fucking idiotic. The link you provided is moronic.

Published findings are published findings. They're results of a test. There's nothing conclusive about published findings, nor would an actual scientist conclude anything absolute from a single study.

Published findings may have interesting results, they're published and shared with the scientific community. Tests are redone by other scientists, and results commonly vary depending on MANY variables. The more tests are done on a particular experiment, the more data can be teased out.

I mean that paper you posted might as well be titled "why most scientific experements fail"

well NO FUCKING SHIT, OF COURSE MOST OF THEM FAIL, IT"S A FUCKING EXPERIMENT< IT'S FUCKING TRIAL AND ERROR.

You need to conduct experiments hundreds or thousands of times before you get something that works. You need to publish the data from ALL THOSE STUDIES to show why those experiments DID NOT WORK.

jesus you people are fucking stupid and your links are stupid.

you're too dumb to "get" science. just accept it. you're dull. Low IQ. Go back to your god and worship or whatever and fuck off, leave us science geeks alone. You'll reap the benefits of our work eventually and you will be undeserving of it.

>>733661182
SNR isn't as dramatic when you've properly selected your variables and relying more on a quantitative experiment rather than a qualitative experiment. I think the statistical significance of your results would tell you whether or not you've supported your conclusion or not.

The drunk example defines bias to an extent, but assumes bias that the 'folks have a stronger grasp on reality' know what drunk is. Maybe they aren't drunk and are just sluggish and the folks telling them they are drunk are drunk themselves and are misinterpreting behavior because of their skewed perception, and only gauging that perception based on whether that person has to drive. If they don't have to drive, is their level of intoxication relevant? There are variables that aren't known in the scenario and therefore invalidates the example.
>>
>>733662891
It's really a matter of using statistics and probability to eliminate ambiguity. And even in a perfect scenario you can't know correlation implies causation so you have to think about it.

OP wants to live in his own reality, excluded from the reality of the rest of us. So be it. He can pontificate on how he is right and how science is wrong. Until he gets some social disease (tough in his private world) and seeks out a scientific cure. Until he needs technological amusement which is only possible because of science. Science seeks to understand objective reality, as experienced by all of us. That reality does not exclude OP, even as he atempts to exclude science.

Science is not at war with religion, and science does not attempt to refute or confirm any rational religion. Science attempts to explain the who, what, when and where. Religion (or lack of same) attempts to answer the question; why?
>>
>>733640587
Yup it is just a total coincidence that things like computers, airplanes, medicine, space ships, cell phones, modern plastics etc. exist.

Science has no idea WTF it is doing. That's why all these things existed before science.
>>
>>733643438
It actually depends on a shitton of factors like the temperature, point of impact, height, speed, surface it falls on, orientation you drop it, phone model, etc.
I assure you that if you drop an iPhone with a speed of 5m/s screen facing the floor at concrete from a height of 2 meters it will break 100% of the times

Science is more about how or why.
Why do things happen the way they do?
How do they happen that way (what is the mechanism of action)?

lol okay anon

the only problem i see in this argument is this:
why the fuck does it matter? whether science is real or just total bullshit why does it affect you? im just curious but what do you gain by making these claims?

ha ha ha ha! tell us more about how you read the review article and then misrepresented the article by going off on a tangent, all while trying to spin sophist language ("The more tests are done on a particular experiment, the more data can be teased out.") that gives your shitty argument a veneer of reason.

let me repeat: you did not read the article, your critique "TALKS RIGHT PAST" the points. It's like you purposely want to attribute a meaning to a point that does not exist.

and then trying to puff your autistic faggoty ass by using that single post (rather than the many others as a whole) as 'proof' of your own superiority, and our 'stupid-ness'.
keep trying autist, maybe if you actually presented a cogent critique of the theory behind the article (AND actually knew the argument has been put to the test empirically hundreds of times, making you look like a newfag for being ignorant of that fact too) you might not look like such a pseudointellectual autistic faggot.
but your faggotry does entertain us!

he's a fucking retard, and he proved it by misattributing a religious slant to my argument. But then what do you expect from a faggot who doesn't read an article and (ignorant of the nature of type one and type 2 errors and simple power calculations) tries to talk like he knows more, but argues some superficial nonsense that only proves he got his argument from a high school textbook .
