Who are the Science Deniers ?

Where did you get the idea all scientists are "progressives"?? I would bet, without any fear of loss, that MANY vote conservative. Many of them, I am sure, believe differently than the conservative agenda spells out, but, they still believe in conservatism. The religiously guided branch of conservatism is not the ONLY branch, just like there are different directions for progressives. WE are not so apt to group ourselves and others as "all alike". That wouldn't be "progressive", things like that hold you back. Progressives believe in the supremacy of science, and that, if climate change and gender dysphoria are "theories", so are gravity and the speed of sound. 1

I'm of the opinion that "Science Denier", much like many other generalized blanket statements, is a derogatory term thrown around without any real meaning. One of the most crucial aspects of science is that it's not a package deal: just because you disagree with one scientific theory doesn't mean you're denying the validity of science itself. Therefore, labeling someone as a "Science Denier" for disagreeing with a single concept created by the scientific community (like, as the OP mentioned, Climate Alarmism and gender dysphoria) is completely inappropriate. 1

I completely agree. Just because gender dysphoria is based on observed fact doesn't mean people have to agree with it. Unfortunately in our society it seems that self-delusion is becoming quite popular. Note - this post's status as "Disputed" is unintentional. I misclicked without realizing it, and can't edit the post's status. 2

You have just shown yet one more double standard from the Left. There are literally thousands of double standards when it comes to political correctness. Science tells us how our bodies are designed. It is a science denier to say that Homosexuaity is natural or normal. But of course the Left ignores science deniers if they vote and give money to Democrats. 1

I'm not sure that anyone knows the precise nature of the link between mind and body. The physical form of one's gender may not always be in harmony with the conscious perception of one's sexual orientation. I would assume that when this freakish conflict occurs the confused person will have to follow the urges of their sexual desires, and maybe even make whatever ''adjustments'' are necessary to help them lead a life which they feel is normal to them. This condition is yet another example of how nature's fallibility can prove to be most cruel. When we encounter such cases I feel that understanding and acceptance should be the order of the day. The premise holding your debate together is that being born with a particular gender's sexual organs automatically makes you then and forever a member of that gender according to science. That is not a science argument. That is merely a simple definition, and not necessarily of science origin. In fact if you google simply "science explains homosexuality" you get a long list of very good references to science articles covering many potential explanations for why homosexuals and transexuals could exist. Here's simply one. http://www.bbc.com/news/ So we are not science deniers. Instead you are simply science naive. |
