RE: What is Evil? (Bloody Fields)
Yes, he was downvoted: for denying climate science - nothing personal.
I think it's appropriate to downvote posts/comments that deny well-established scientific or historical facts, examples include Holocaust denial (see also here), Climate science denial (see also here), Flat eath etc.
Also I prefer to avoid discussions with deniers about the topics of their denialism, because it gives the impression there is a debate where in fact there is no debate. While some deniers are just victims of disinformation, lack education or intelligence (or suffer from some mental condition), others do it to further a political agenda or for the purpose of trolling.
Recommended reading (in particular the part about irrationality) related to this issue is this post.
Usually I don't explain my downvotes in such detail - here I do it because @diabolika asked.
Science must be your religion, then? No heresy allowed! Who made you head of the thought police?
This is what it boils down to.
I have infuriated atheists by calling them 'religious zealots'.
XD
How oxymoronic of you! :) But we do have to keep tapping that patellar tendon, don't we?
I rather enjoyed this shitstorm: a much needed rain of nutrition for unfirtile minds. Keep it up!
PS: It was fucking hard to find your reply because you got muted and it was buried so deep in the comment pile. This injustice needs to be addressed. You were censored but not censured. Your censoring was also rebuked but not repealed. This is a flaw in the Steemit system. I agree with your views and yet must search for them. This isn't right. (That is if we actually had rights. :D)
Gaaah! Too much cognitive dissonance in one comment for me to integrate =p
Welcome to Turtle Island. Da Plane, Da plane!
Well, personally, I find it commendable you have clarified.
I will submit that this statement is utterly denial of science.
There is no settled science. None.
It's not the nature of science to be settled.
I certainly can understand why you might disagree with my views. You haven't seen the data I have, you haven't been pressured to change your data.
Nonetheless, please, while I do not ask you to discuss the matter with me, as you would find it to be contrary to your position, please do simply research the scientific method.
Scientific inquiry is capable only of disproving a thing. Therefore it cannot prove any damn thing at all.
Thanks!
